Harvest Time!

When You see this big red machine

And this tractor and grain wagon coming through the field….

You know It’s going to make some little boys very happy!

My nephew, Alton, spent the day with  me yesterday, and couldn’t have been more thrilled that the combine was in the field by the house.  All day he said “let’s go see the farmers”.  My kitchen was out of commission due to some cabinet repairs being made, so I called Carrie and her little guy, Leo, (who happens to be just 1 day older than Alton) to meet us for lunch @ DQ,  followed by a combine ride!  Leo wasn’t quite sure about riding by himself so Carrie got to ride with Leo and Alton!  Check out Alton’s face, smiling from ear to ear!  Alton proudly sits on the cooler and chatted the entire time he was in the combine.   I’m sure he is an official “farmer” now.

Then it was time for the little boys to do some of their own farming.


Alton test driving tractors

He opted for the John Deere.  I’m sure his daddy is proud!

I should have done some cropping/editing  to this photo, but I’m lucky to even get photos on the blog.  But I must say,  I love the shadows on the concrete of these sweet boys on their tractors.  Not much of a nap time today for these boys, there was too much farming to be done.   You know the saying “A Farmer’s work is never done!”
