Tractor Fun

 Yesterday after class Kyle and I headed out 

to the back pasture to seed the grass.

We have to hand seed, we have one of those

little whirly gig jobbies that you pour the

seed into and then walk up and down the

pasture and turn the little crank and seed

spits out in a big arc in front of you.

Which is awesome because you are walking

forward, INTO the stream of seed.

So it gets in your shirt.

But walking backwards looses its appeal

pretty quickly.

Anyhow.

We took turns spreading the seed and then

Kyle hooked the drag to the tractor

and 

I DROVE IT!

It was fun!

Kyle took a picture of me, but with the sun behind

me its hard to see...

And if you look closely, you can see

I had a little stow-away.

He was standing on my accelerator foot.

Made it awesome.

Should have taken a "before"

because then you can recognize the awesomeness of the "after".

Hahahahahahaha

Now we are just waiting for the promised 70% rain.

(It's 3 in the afternoon and nothing yet.....)

Rod says I'm a "real" farmer now.

Since I can drive the tractor.

Kyle says he's pretty sure butchering my own 

rabbits and chickens and keeping the horses,

and steers etc alive and thriving makes me a 

"real" farmer...

but hey... I'll take either or both!
