Still on the Farm

2020-10-04

We started the week still on the farm. Harvest is done, so we spent time with Bob, did a little work, and had some fun.

We went to visit Kenny at the old John Deere shop so we could look at some of his toys.

Kenny's new toy combine - it weighs 50 pounds!

Then I wanted to do some work. I wanted to pick up sticks like Daddy did when he stayed with Bob, so we took the Gator down to the river and piled up a few loads.

Here's my first load of sticks.

Time to unload.

This is nice little dump truck.

All that work made me hungry, so we went to the only restaurant in town. Mommy visited with Becky, who owns the restaurant, and made plans to come back when Bay was done with school so we could play.

This is weird - first time in a restaurant since we were in Florida in March!

Back at the house I had some driving lessons - it is a school day, after all! And I picked up some more sticks.

I'm getting the hang of this.

I could do this all day....

Back at the restuarant - which had a bowling alley - I got to play with Bay and do some bowling. I used three lanes at once!

This ball has the Hulk on it!

After that fun, we did some more driving. We went by the pile to get a picture to share, and then I drove around in the field picking up rocks until it got dark.

Here's my pile of sticks to burn.

The last of the daylight....

Wednesday morning it was time to go home. We took a last ride in the Gator, out to the farm yard - I got a little more practice driving.

I almost missed getting to see the gravel truck.

Before we left town, we went to the cemetery with Bob. We went to where Jennifer is, and Bob showed us where his mom and dad are, and some of his friends.

Me and Bob.

On the road, we stopped at a truck stop for gas and Daddy grabbed a couple of auction magazines for me - so I was entertained for the rest of the ride.

Look at all the stuff I can get for my farm....

Back home, Daddy went to work and Mom and I got back to learning at home. On Saturday, Daddy decided he wanted some cookies - so we made some. Don't get any ideas: Tiny Spoons is not back in business.

Mmmmmm...cookies....

I would give them two thumbs up, but then I'd have to set down my cookie.

And that was my week. Take care, everyone! Be safe!
