WE love ours...it has the bucket thingy and a back hoe....we're planning on digging LOTS on our little farm. You've got to learn to drive it Suzanne...once the rain quits here I'm going to give ours a try...then we'll be 'real' farmgirls! I'm so enjoying reading all your old posts...I'm working my way to the top of your list...or at least until I reach the first post I read on here. My hubby loves hearing about your adventures too...I'm always passing along something funny from your blog. I think he loves the recipes the best though. Since these pictures were taken over a year ago...are there any newer ones with the tractor on your farm? If so...I haven't got that far yet. Anyway...thanks for the great entertainment Suzanne...you make my day. :hungry2: Yeay…we ended up getting the same pretty red tractor!!!!

I mean naturally, we all want to save an animal and do the right thing, but I also have heard stories (like in Naomi Judd's biography) of how people can be...scarey anywhere, nowadays.

Whoa. Way cool. Be careful on those hills. We've lost several friends to tractor roll-overs--it's tricky here, especially in wet weather, or on a hillside where a groundhog has dug holes that can tip a tractor. We have a Massey Ferguson, 1970 model, I believe. It's still worth the same amount as we paid for it in 1980. Tractors don't lose value if they're in running condition. I never learned to drive it, on purpose. Because if I did, I'd be expected to do all sorts of things I don't want to be my job to do. I have a very bi job already, taking care of gardens and critters and house and family and putting up food--not to mention the fulltime and part-time jobs I hold. I leave tractoring to the guys, very contented to watch 'em work! A new tractor! Whoa. Way cool.

I'm a little scared to get involved more than I have because I don't want the people to get mad at me, and I think it's better if I leave it to the authorities. Coco is doing good with the kitties. She just doesn't understand why they don't want to play with her, LOL. I haven’t heard anything more on the horse.

I'm getting puppy fever, but don't know if my only cat and 18 yr old dog would be too crazy about a young-un. the goats thought that would be their function… to eat the grass in the meadow… or do you need sheep for that? :sheepjump:
