Boys (& Girls) And Their Toys

Yesterday Pete and I were like kids at Christmas time; we couldn't wait for the arrival of our new toy. It arrived at four and we both ran out to meet the driver. I said to him, I didn't think I'd be so excited to get a tractor; but I can just imagine all the possibilities. Some of the ideas are cutting the field behind the hedge in preparation for the new dog paddock, removing stumps, moving stone; you name it, it is going to make our life a lot easier.

So even in the rain, we had to test it out! Pete is using the seven foot wide lawn mower.

This is the field we want to fence off for the dogs...so might as well get cutting!

I even had a turn! It is too much fun. Pete is out there now; and I'm about to join him. Green Acres is the place to be!

A few more

Just testing how large I can get these photos! I'm pushing the envelope for dial-up; but hopefully most viewers have high speed.
We've had these wheels a long time. They came from our first home in Perth and now are propped next to what we call the "barn", which is really just a metal storage shed.

I like the textures in this shot.
