Daisy Mae My Mule
Daisy Mae and I have been together a long time. Daisy Mae is “My Mule.”
LB’s daddy used a real mule to plow. But times have changed, so I use Daisy Mae.
Daisy Mae is the most reliable “mule” I ever used. She is a Yard Machine. Sometimes I get really tuckered out after a full day of plowing with Daisy Mae, and I leave her outside to plow some more the next day, and it might rain. But even so, she has always cranked right up. My Mule can go a long time on one small tank of gas.
Daisy Mae is a hard working mule. She has helped me dig up stumps. She helped me plow compost and topsoil into a garden that was sorely lacking in good dirt. And over the years we turned that garden into a fine planting area that Daisy Mae and I can be proud of.
Even in winter when I am turning under the garden area, no matter how cold it is, no matter how long Daisy Mae’s been idle without running, with a few short pulls she is up and ready to work. I always let her sit a minute and warm up before I put her right to work. I sure do love Daisy Mae, “my mule.”
