Camping on the farm

Great view – Todays picture shows our campsite at the farm with my folks. It has been fun already this summer spending more time on the farm. We got to watch the first cutting of hay being hauled away on our last visit . My dad no longer farms but he sure misses it. He often wakes up and tells my mom he has to go work in the fields. My mom has to remind him he is retired. Fourth of July is less than three weeks away and before we know it it will be Aug. the another summer will be over.
But this is one summer we are not going to look back on and say , where did it go ? We have already did a lot of camping and we have had a lot of campfires , roasted marshmallows and burnt up hot dogs and of course smores.
John Deere 9630 progress- I got most of the yellow stripes painted on the parts yesterday and i repainted the hood green too. It shined pretty good but after lightly sanding it and hitting it with more paint now when it is sanded and buffed out it should shine like crazy. Not a lot left to do on it , I got to build the new floor in it, rebuild the rear hitch , redesign the gas tank location and last i will install the cab windows. The tractor project is on the back burner this summer and having fun is first and foremost,.
Hope your having a great summer so far too .
