I'm tired...

No photos to share, been a bit busy! Yesterday we went to lunch with friends and then to the movies to watch Transformers III. It was a pretty good movie, lots of action. Then we came home and invited our friends and then some more to go swimming at the pool. 7 females and 2 males, ranging in age from 6 to 45, ekk and it was too funny! Michael kept saying "boys rule, girls drool"...I was shocked he didn't get dunked a few times! Today I had a neighbors daughter babysit Michael while I shredded/mowed the property. He loved it. He didn't have to sit in the shade while I worked. She took him swimming and then back to the house for a bit. I got a lot done but still have a lot more to go. I was having problems with the steering on the tractor so I finally quit. I checked the power steering fluid and it was low, sigh! At least it is an easy fix and I might get some more shredding done tomorrow or Friday. I'm really tired and really sore, bouncing around on a tractor is always rough on me. Michael and I did see a roadrunner yesterday but he was quick and I had no time to grab the camera. We have gotten a little rain from afternoon heat showers and everything is starting to turn green again. I may even have to mow the yard again soon. Hope y'all are having a good week!

I used to love to ride the big John Deere with John. The last time I did we had to go over some rough land and I was sooo sore the next day. He is almost retired now so we don't get on the tractor anymore.

Sounds like your week just keeps getting better and better :) BTW, love the photos below from the 4th. Especially the shot of the boat in the water. What a perspective!

Sorry to hear that the tractor is so rough on you...the last one I used was a Ford and had no spring to the seat at all so everytime I hit a bump, my butt would become airborn...not bad for a little while but it got old pretty quick. Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

This is a newer tractor and has all the modern conveniences but I don't think they can do anything to make it not bounce no matter what...it is rough in the fields and the hogs and gophers don't help. Today will be much better as I don't think I'm getting on the tractor, lol. Thank y'all for your comments!
