Description

GOOD MORNING!!!!
I'm not sure of the year of
this old tractor...but it's
a John Deere R model and its
one of the first models to
run on diesel. It resides in
the pasture behind where my
favorite old barn is.
I was out and about one May
afternoon not long after the
EF5 tornado took away my neighboring
town of Greensburg Kansas...Our weather
was really unstable that summer...
But it made for dramatic skies!!!!

I'm going to try this in the Monthly Theme,
as most of the farmsteads where I live...
This IS their BackYard!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND ALL!!!!!!
