Party Party Party
Tuesday was Waverly's birthday, and Monday was the birthday of Susannah, who works with us on the farm. So we decided to have a party Wednesday night in honor of both of them.
Here is Waverly sporting the baling twine and wildflower necklace she got from her pals Ethan and Emma.
Emma hits one out playing whiffleball.
Tractor manufacturers must put some magnetic device in each tractor that is designed to attract kids. Here Maryellen commands the ship with Wavo, Tommy, Ethan, and Emma on deck.
Waverly's pal Tommy, aka "Super T", reviews his oil pressure with his Mama, Tracy.
And then he reaches for the ignition. He is only 16 months old, but he is a natural on the heavy equipment.
Dinner around the fire pit we built up in the field this weekend.
And Susannah and Waverly blow out their candle back down at the house after dark.
All in all, not a bad time!
Posted by peter at September 16, 2004 03:57 PMOne of the pictures of your tractor seems to show the words "not for sale" in white letters with the "not" part taped over. Is your tractor for sale??
Posted by: JDAZ at September 17, 2004 02:40 PMNo, it's not for sale. Apparently the person who owned it before us lived on a fairly busy road so people were always asking to buy it from him. So he painted "not for sale" on it. Then, when he went to sell it, he put duct tape over the "not". We just haven't gotten around to removing the duct tape, figuring probably a lot of the paint will come with it!
