What's new?

Editor's note: I sent the Green Girl skiing. She's wearing me out. Meanwhile, she--and you--can think about the new year. So this week, let's look at what green things were new, and when.

ps--If ya act quickly, you can still get one of the few remaining first edition copies of the green guide, "John Deere Collectibles." As I understand it, the second edition is underway, but won't be available for a while. Go here for ordering info.

pps--Send Brenda a note: What green goodies did you get for Christmas? Email her at greengirl@bleedinggreen.com.

ppps--Have a happy and "Deere" New Year!
