Yes, that is so TRUE!
Having lived in The Netherlands, one of the world's most densely populated countries, with small property sizes in general, we moved from a Stamp-size Yard to a BIG size.
Our late friend Roy Chappell, also a Rotarian, dropped off this special tow behind spike aerator with lawn roller for behind our John Deere.
It was February 23, 1985 when spring soon would start.

You also see that husband Pieter is wearing his semi wooden clogs!
Pieter's clogs are in the center.
To the left were mine, when I was 3 years old I wore them and there used to be a leather strap for keeping them fit snug.
To the right are tourist clogs, a gift from Pieter's Mom, that we had hung on the wall on our patio.
Those black ones were leather upper with wood bottom.
Pieter also loved to wear those when traveling to the different mushroom farms, for keeping his feet dry when walking on the compost yard.
Here you see such wooden clogs with leather (or man made) upper: Oase PU Klompen Dichte Hiel 232 just click link.
One early morning, after Pieter had left home for driving the good two hours to the airport, for such a farm review for Campbell Soup, I noticed his wooden clogs in their plastic tote.
I was in nightgown, so what I did, was put on my morning robe and grabbed his tote and RACED in my Ford Escort behind him...
That was SPEEDING, as I had to catch up with him!
Flashing my lights, when I saw his Buick in the distance, Pieter thinking, what idiot is coming behind me in the early morning?

Then, I drove on the left lane beside him, while holding up the plastic tote, and Pieter grinned.
Soon he pulled over into the roadside, and I quickly handed him his 'forgotten' tote with wooden clogs!
Pieter was happy; a quick kiss, and he only shook his head as I swiftly made a U-turn through the median, and went back home, now no need for speeding!
Lucky me for not encountering any Sheriff or State Patrol... 😉
