happy is the man......

who takes a day off from work, and spends it on his tractor, fertilizing his field!!!

This summer, we have a man who will be coming to take the hay off the field. We are excited and so is he, he will get some hay for his cattle, and Ed and I will have the chance to see what type and how much hay the field is able to produce. Since we plan to use it mostly as pasture, it will be a good test, and maybe, we will change our minds about how much will be pasture, after we see the yield. Either way, it needed a good douse of fertilizer and Ed was more than happy to get the job done.

We arrived fairly early in the morning, only to find our neighbor, Dave, already there and waiting for us!!! He would have had the tractor all ready to go, expect that he didn't have the keys!!! Dave is always interested in our "plans", I think he is even more excited than we are, to have us living there, he is always asking when the barn is going up and if I have decided on what type of house we are building!!!!








This is the kind of work that Ed could do all day long!!! He loves being on his tractor!!!! It was a grand day, very warm for May!!! Good thing I was there... reminding him to wear his hat!!! and drink lots of fluids!!! It's easy for Ed to forget time and "important matters" when he's working that tractor!!!!
Dave noticed that the roundpen needed some mowing and cleaning up. So, he got his John Deere running, I opened up the pen, and he was more than happy to run his mower around!!! He was right, it needed to be done, now I have nice short grass if I ever get the chance to get the horses up there...

Look at these two..... what's that old saying...



the difference between men and boys....is the price of their toys!!!!!!
