Tractor Rides and Long Walks

For a little boy who loves tractors, Hamilton was reluctant actually to climb on the loud machine even with Pops's driving and holding him. But when Pops drove around the yard cutting the grass without Hamilton, the little boy decided he would indeed like to ride. Pops was "making it look like too much fun." (At least that's what Pops used to say when we were kids.) So Hamilton rode with Pops for a few turns around the yard.

Hamilton's school bus and front-end loader came along on our walk, and they took a turn in many dirty spots along the way.

 Hamilton, Fatty, and I enjoyed our long walk around the farm in the late-afternoon sunlight.
