Real women drive tractors!!!
So this past week, I learned to do something that was sooooo empowering!! DRIVE A TRACTOR! The coolest thing about it is I learned to do it by myself, with a little conspiring from my girlfriend Tamara. We where trying to walk my antique hay rake down the road a few hundred yards to the new house when my husband pulled up and we where laughing at ourselves! He handed me the key to the tractor and drove away. So she and I nervously walked over to the tractor and I climbed on. Long story short I figured it out pretty quick and away we went! I was sooo excited! I feel like a real farm girl now! We ended up making about 10 trips hauling on pallets, the last of the big heavy items in the yard. The empowering part is that now I can move clutter that caleb leaves around any time I want! So if something big and heavy is sitting around looking junky I can organize it!!! My husband may have something to say about those notions. And I will probably regret learning to drive it as he may have chores for me to do on it now. But I like driving and operating a tractor. One of the best features about the new place is that we have buildings we can store our farm clutter and tools and such instead of having it junk up the yard. That eliminates alot of stress for me. And now being able to move that clutter eliminates even more!!! whhoooo hoooo!!
