Blue, green, yellow or orange?

Decisions decisions.... The blue goes better with the beach umbrellas I got from Walmart for $15. If that matters at all?

But...there is more to tractor shopping than picking a color. We also need to know if we like convertible or closed cab. Depends on how much dust we want to eat. Other factors are less important for me. I leave those up to Mark. After all, we want to comply with the gender roles.

Tractor shopping is the most fun I've ever had!!!! :) :) :)

Happy Birthday Tatum!

Saturday on the Ranch

Spending a Saturday on the ranch again. Got a little work done, set up a beach-lounging area, had a lunch pick-nick, got a sunburn and laughed a lot.

This newly cleared sitting spot has the perfect view to watch the clouds over our house in Pine Cove.

Hot doggies. Not much shade around and even under the umbrellas, the ground is still too warm for Buck and Spitz.

I gave up my shade for Buck so I can get a good sunburn.

Mark & Spitz are enjoying the mountain view.

Mark can't sit still too long. He needs to get some brush clearing in for the day. His new method of placing a chain around the bush and pull it out with the truck made me laugh really hard.

As he was driving away, the chain pulled through the top of the bush, yanking out a few branches and leaving the majority in the ground.

Really funny operation.

I'm waiting for my tractor so I can plow through that land like a mower over a lawn.
