Ode to Tractors
Aren’t tractors cool?
I mean cool, cool. Not as reusable bag cool or hybrid car cool, but just good old fashion cowboy cool.
Even without the husky cowboy, I mean.
Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re wondering what I am doing talking about rugged old tractors when my forte is clearly feeding children healthy foods and raising awareness about treading softly on Mother Earth. Well, back off. Stop painting me in such a small corner. I am so totally versatile.
And I happen to like tractors.
So do my children. See?
Not only is Kira giddy with her cornstalk, but Acadia is clearly enjoying the tractor, eating kettle corn, and entertaining thoughts about broccoli. You can’t hear them, but trust me when I tell you that they are also in the midst of a discussion about re-engineering that tractor to run on popcorn. See? Tractors: Fun for the family and good for the earth.
And we do have tractors to thank for the 497 pounds of potatoes that we are in the process of eating our way through, day in, day out. Potatoes. All thanks to this guy.
That’s the Flipping-potatoes-out-of-the-earth tractor. Otherwise known as, well, as something else probably. Anyways, thanks to Flip my girls have been enjoying homemade french fries every single night.
So yeah, tractors are cool. So is Tori. She’s the reader that successfully identified my trick picture as a chicken, and submitted what she claims is a more accurate depiction of a cow. You be the judge.
Cow?
Or not cow?
Very good class. It is a cow. I like cows. And I like tractors. That’s just the way I roll.
I am especially fond of my own tractor. Which we loaded down with multitudes of gourds, a twelve foot stalk of corn, and 758 pounds of pumpkin.
Hi Ho Silver.
Away.

Looks like you are all ready for Halloween. Will you be dressing up as farmers, cowboys or tractor driving cowboys? 🙂
Thanks for posting the pic. The homemade bread didn’t arrive. What happened? Need the correct address? While you are checking in to that, can you hook me up with Flip? I have always wanted to drive a tractor. Now, I’m not talking the Silver variety… 🙂
Where do I get me one of those bad boys. How does it drive on the streets of Louisville? They did let you take it for a spin didn’t they?
I need a huge trailer for my brussel sprouts…maybe with a fork lift..are you related to the writer who grew up in a very suburban community in NJ. I like this cowgirl
Yay to me, the random winner of the bread. I can’t wipe the smile off of my face. I can smell the bread rising in my head and it’s bringing tears to my eyes. Daphne, hone in on that “uncanny ability to put (your) finger smack dab on the pulse of what (I’m) thinking” and get over here with my bread. I’m salivating already. That line is priceless!
Where is this farm? Those pumpkins are amazing!
is that tractor a hybrid?
Whhhooooooa, cool tractor!!! I’m gonna print that off and hang it on Felix’s wall.

What does earthmom do with 758 lbs of pumpkin? Potatoes every day is one thing, but….?
Do you like all tractors equally or is there a preference for ones that have a cowboy riding on them? Just today I could not get Fletcher off the tractor at the children’s museum – so, it seems that you are in good company! 🙂
Wow! Those pumpkins are huge! Will you carve them? Have a great Halloween!
French fries every night, wow! I would be 497 lbs in a week!
I like tractors and cows, too. They are both useful tools and they both can be beautiful. Keep on being who you are and making me laugh.
