Wordless Wednesday : Put out to Pasture

Little dirt magnets ...

Once upon a time the big boys decided to tractor pull the old tractor , found in the top paddock, back to the farm house-yard.

It had been there maybe 20-30yrs. It took ~~a bl00dy legend~~ DH to drive the Big red tractor in reverse about 2-3kms at a top speed of 5 kms per hour pulling the old tractor over a rough grassy track, downhill , uphill downhill ...

A few years on, put to pasture ...it glowed in the afternoon son !


Secret boy talk ...

~Grandpa's ~ farm settles this Friday - last Friday the tilt tray (from town) moved the old rusty tractor to retire in our dusty pastures. It might be an old rusty tractor but the memories are priceless.

Trish my boys would think this was seriously cool! You could add some solar lights to jazz it up for Christmas.

This is something the boys will remember when they're parents themselves! I used to LOVE playing on dad's tractor as a wee girl! x

Love that tractor!
I remember there being one at the playground near my Nanna's house.
We'd go on all sorts of wonderous imaginary adventures on that tractor.
