Re: wagons and carts

Here's a site with some pictures:

Depending on what I'm doing, I use either a big "contractor's" wheelbarrow
or a large plastic bucket, the best one I think originally had 5 gallons of
joint compound in it (a friend with friends in construction picked it up for
me - they throw them out!).  I could really use a wagon of some sort,
though.  Our property is very sloped, and somewhat over 1 1/2 acres so I
have a ways to trudge.  Kitty, your wagon is what the nurseries here use as
well - where in the world did you find it for such a good price?

I was in Boston for work this week (and the next 4) - it was snowing
yesterday morning.  Although I used to live in western MA, I'm just not
quite ready for frozen white stuff in the air!  And it's forecast to be
60-70 on Sunday there.  Choosing what to pack gets very confusing...
