Luckily, I have a pretty small landscaped yard and most of the rest of the place is drought resistent or natural or dry pastures!

I am frantically trying to figure out how to get down to see that treadle soon. I wanted to go on Monday - but, that is the day they are closed! Go figure! I may try and re-arrange so we could go tomorrow! Otherwise, I will have to wait until Wednesday. I am talking to a Joel who works or runs the store. He thinks the treadle will sell this weekend! Anyway, he gave me the serial number of #113768, which places the treadle at 1890 and made in Berlin! I am so excited! I hope I can get it - I will if I am suppose to!
