Our Anniversary Present

IT'S THE GREEN ONE!

Our anniversary tractor is ready for delivery, but it has to wait another week until we get back from solar fielding in Arizona.

Hi! This is Grandma's new baby :)





















Last Friday, on our way home after the AZ trip, we finally got the tractor delivered.
Here we go caravaning to the ranch. Mark and the babies are following me as I am driving the tractor to it's new home.



















It was a nice, rainy afternoon and I wish we could have stayed and played, but it was also lightning and since we are exposed to it all up there, we did not think it's too safe. So we parked John and went home.



















This is too much fun!



















Saturday morning, I jumped out of bed at 5:00 am and was ready to go tractoring.
We did a lot of grading work, brush dragging, roots yanking and dumping that day.

Hi Mom!!!!


Mark gets his turn first thing in the morning.



It wants to rain again. Perfect day to push the dirt around.
Clouds were coming and going all day, but we only had a little drizzle.


OK. It's my turn!




I am making the driveway flat.


The sand dunes need a lot of improvement for the future storage containers and wood cutting area also.












The truck needs a less bumpy spot to park on too.
This morning I was up with the chickens and back in the tractor. My sand dunes are almost gone. I need to grease up John tomorrow morning and we are ready to hit the sand again.

Hey, nice looking tractor! New rims on the truck too?

Thanks. Yep...that's the winter tire package. We still have the old rims for summer tires.
