This is JDT in one of his serious moments. Denea, Doug and their kids came up to visit on this cold and rainy day. Doug and Jim starting building some selves in our garage and Denea I were in the house when we hear a large noise...and to our surprise Jim had borrowed a full size front bucket tractor from the farm across the way. Jim and Doug had decided to start digging out the footing for a storage shed we bought. The best about this whole thing was Ryan's (6 yrs) eyes when he saw his grandpa on that big tractor!

As a side note after the farmer delivered the tractor and gave Jim and Doug quick directions on it's operation, it took Jim and Doug 15 minutes to figure out how to make it move forward. What fun down on the farm. Everyday is a new wonderful experience. The area is so beautiful and we feel so blessed to be here. I may be singing a different tune when winter really hits.
