Some more fun pictures to share

Another smaller steam engine


Yes, they had more than just John Deere ( Loved the old trucks)

An early stationary JD engine



Some painted saw blades that mom loved (Look out, Michelle!)





Oh, by the way: Yes, Marie, they did have ice cream back in the day!!!!!!!




Our latest adventure

Last June we heard about this Antique Tractor Show so we made the effort to save the weekend. We went up Friday after work to be there on Saturday. (Needless to say, it was a great day!)

This is a Model B John Deere from around 1947. I grew up with one just like it; we always used it to mow hay and other light work.



An earlier version of the B series.



An early model A.




All day this old Case Steam Engine was driven around blowing its whistle; it sounded like a train was coming. Here they were hooking it up to a belt to drive another machine,like a harvester. That's what they originally used them for.

HAPPY EASTER

So what does the Easter Bunny do with the eggs when there are no kids to hide them from????



So the other day Mom and I were walking the dog and came across a house that they had put eggs on there flowers out front for Easter. Mom thought it was great but we weren't sure how to on ours since they are a diffrent type of flower. But Sunday morning we found that the Easter Bunny had a way.
