Beautiful Rose's Misty.

Cap your irises are beautiful.

The squirrels are or hauled off my purple iris. The white are starting but I cannot walk out there to get a pic.
My right hip is making it it difficult to walk. I'm hobbling on my cane right now.

Prayers,get well soon & thank you

Take care of that hip, Chickadoodles!

Yeah, I really do think tractors are sexy, LOL! The Iseki is a little beast of a tractor. It doesn't look like much but it has earned it's oil more than once around the farm. What you are seeing on it now is the finishing mower, DH does have a brush hog that it will pull without breaking a sweat. It's cleared many a field for us. It's only down is that it has turf tires mounted on it which works well for mowing but not so well for pulling anything

Our other tractor is a Mahindra 3510, four wheel drive, big bucket-6 foot but surprisingly easy to drive. Power steering, knobby wheels. We use it to haul wood destined for fuel and it drags 10 foot lengths of logs up ravines for us with surprising ease.

Here I am learning to drive it. I look so serious, LOL but was really concentrating.

This was taken about a year after we bought the house. The front is completetly different now and we have electricity now, LOL. Doggo's in the picture, well part of him is, better days for him. He was only about 2 years old at the time and completely unstoppable.

Awesome, wish i had one of those machines! Today i need to dig up a new bed and plant stuff. So tired from the heat and running around. And i am trying to get ready for the swap , leaving Friday night!

I wish we had all the attachments for it. So far we have a disc, brush hog, finishing mower, lawn roller and middle soil buster. Oh, we also have a single blade plow that we use on the garden and to dig trenches when we were laying in electric lines.

We learned really fast that when you live rural and have a lot of acreage, a tractor is mandatory and worth the money you invest in it, While we would at times like to have a few more horses under the hood, this size tractor is about as big as we can go and maneuver around in our timber.

Thanks everyone. It's a little better this morning.

@CapricornFarm keep an eye on your local farm impliment center. They are always getting trade-ins that you can pick up at a reasonable price. Ours was ten years old when we spotted it sitting in the local impliment store sale yard.

Tractors are very helpful for lots of things

That is a nice one!
