I just thought it would fun to show some of my more urbane friends what the world -- or at least my corner of it -- looks like from the seat of a tractor. As you can see, none of our horses are spooked by the tractor.

Oh, Pilatus is wondering if maybe I have a cookie. Otherwise, no interest.

The Shekomeko Valley seen from the seat of my tractor while mowing. I hope this lets you understand why I think it's a spiritual experience to drive a tractor up here.

Looking down at what I am about to cut. Of course, the white knuckle part is not photographed.... too busy driving the rig.

What it looks like heading down hill. Gotta be careful about groundhog mounds, too.

My work cut out for me... pardon the pun!

A fall hold-out....
