The weather has been wonderful , warm sunny and even the breezes have been warm ! Yesterday Papa , myself and Miggs took a road trip with my tractor Betsy in tow to the guy we got her from for a few adjustments as we haven't had the chance to use her for cutting grass yet and to pay him for her . The trip was lovely not far about an hour and a half the fields were filled with farmers out ploughing and seeding with their big tractors !
I love seeing the tractors out in the fields .
Some tractors and equipment they have these days are monstrous not like the old days of smaller tractors and equipment that’s for sure lol !
As we were driving along Miggs had to pee so we stopped, we heard the sound of an airplane and there she was all of a sudden flying over a beautiful Royal Canadian Air Force Harvard plane . It was a beautiful sight to see and sound to hear this old plane still flying . I like planes as well as tractor's lol ! They were looking down at me as I think they saw the reflection of my camera as I was taking their photo ! The pilot was practicing landing and taking off as the small airport wasn't far away and on the other side of a small forest !
That was fun to photograph and watch !
So off we went again on our adventure with Betsy in the trailer secured and having the breeze blow through her engine lol . Every time we went over a bump her seat would jump and bang down again so Papa and I just said Betsy was flipping her lid lol !
Back to more tractors in the fields as each scenery was different ! These photos of the tractors were taken on a drive by as were the train tracks . I had my camera settings to Fstop 6.3 and shutter speed of 1/800 of a second and to my surprise they all turned out nicely .
Rail road tracks are a rare thing these days and I just love them as they travel through the fields and have small forests around them !
Another thing that is rare here is old original silos like this one made from concrete most now a days are steel .
Well we arrived at the tractor guys place he did a few adjustments to Betsy we gave him the money and off we went home again ! When we got home Papa took Betsy for a spin and cut the front grass to test her out . I wont do the front lawn as the hill is short but steep .
Betsy is a smaller tractor then Papa’s and Papa is a bit to tall for her but she fits me to a T !!!
But I love cutting the back lawn ! So between us we both got the first grass cutting of the season down and Betsy did a great job !
Betsy and I had a good time cutting the grass .
So that was our day yesterday . Today .. well that’s another story I will tell tomorrow but it has to do with building things and a critter visitor we had the other day . The weather this morning is already beautiful warm and sunny out and waiting for us .
Until then .
