Boys and Their Toys

For those of you that don't know about Old Red, it was my Paw Paw's tractor.  He bought it brand new and gardened with it for years.  He drove it under his shed one winter and never used it again...  My Uncle decided to give it to Jason a few years ago.  Jason worked long and hard restoring it and got it running. It was music to my ears!  Seeing the love of my life up on the tractor that my Paw Paw used for years to plow up the dirt and feed his family.  Wow!  Best present in the world to this "little girl" or so my Paw Paw called me!  Love him and miss him every single day of my life!

I mentioned in my last blog how gardening is great for homeschool!  Well, we found ourselves caught up with school on Thursday afternoon and next thing I know, I hear Old Red running again!  After an hour of it's low hum, it stopped.  I got up and peered out my window and this is what I saw....

Talk about making a mama's heart melt!  Two of my men chillin' on the trampoline.  That little guy sure does LOVE his daddy!  And wants to be just like him when he grows up.  They are laying and dreaming about the garden and all the work they have done in the dirt.  Give a man some dirt and a tractor and the dreams he can dream are endless...

My little guy disc up the whole garden by himself on his great grandfather's tractor!  Oh, how I wish he could have been here to see it.  He would be grinning from ear to ear and I would be sitting in his lap, hugging his neck like there's no tomorrow!  

Who says the tractor has to be green?  This girl will take a ride on this little red tractor any day!
