I'm with you on the robot - give me a reel mower any day - makes the lawn look good, and gives me my exercise!Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-78002252098295456922012-10-12T10:12:24.762-04:002012-10-12T10:12:24.762-04:00I'm looking for a leaf raking robot.

So I suppose you'd have to track it down like thieves after a snowfall - follow the destruction at 2.5cm. I'm going to take a gander next week to see if they set it loose again - not sure how well it does its job, but it certainly is entertaining..Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-84461914337026000702012-10-09T20:53:41.849-04:002012-10-09T20:53:41.849-04:00I enjoyed your lovely views!

Fall is one of my favourite times for walks under the trees. <br /><br />Having owned a roomba vacuum cleaner, I wonder what happens when they don't notice that the batteries in the electronic walls have died? My vacuum just bumbles around neighbouring rooms, getting into mischief, but the little robot lawnmower is set free to mow the flowerbeds, neighbourhood, roads, stray cats, etc. :) I assume that the lawn ones have some sort of a power backup for the electronic walls.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9099706683992013607.post-84684437877823942412012-10-03T07:13:40.391-04:002012-10-03T07:13:40.391-04:00Bingo!

We have quite a few around here and they are striking!<br />http://bugguide.net/node/view/447<br /><br />http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Cisseps-fulvicollisKnatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.com
