New Old Tractor!
Leave it to a country girl to get so excited about a tractor. I jumped on the old John Deere garden tractor today, in the midday blazing sun, ready to tackle the weeds that took over while I was in California. As I bumped along toward the weeds, plastic started flying everywhere. The grille with the headlights on it had come loose, and I had run over it and shredded it into a thousand pieces!
Imagine my chagrin.... LOL..... I'm actually laughing now, an hour later. It just seems funny now.
I said, "That's it. I've needed a bigger tractor anyway, so I'm not going to put any more money into this one." I got on the internet and looked at a lot of ads for old tractors. These old tractors are incredibly simple and virtually immortal. They run forever with some maintenance. Within 30 minutes, I had arranged to have an old red rebuilt Farmall tractor and shredder (the mower part that pulls behind it) delivered from a rural area 90 miles from here by the nicest guy.
I've been talking about this and dreaming about it for years, and have written in the blog about that, but I wanted to get the last shred of value out of the old John Deere, which was never really big enough for mowing these 10 acres. But what did I know 8 years ago when I bought it, being new at having ten acres to take care of? You learn one step at a time, and there's joy in the journey.
So there's supposed to be more spiritual value in this story, right? Not really -- I'm just so excited I had to share! Ha ha... Well then... OK, I'll think of something:

- Joy and something to rave about is where you find it. For some, it's a red 1940's Farmall tractor.
- You don't really want to get everything all at once. Spread it out over time and savor each new thing, place, person, or experience.
- It's the simplest things in life that often bring the most joy. I couldn't be any more excited about a red Ferrari.
- Every time you "hit" something you don't want, it can be a catalyst for something you do want. It makes it clearer or can push you to action.
- You've heard me say that mowing is a meditation for me. I LOVE it. What is your unusual meditation?
- What do you love to do that's very simple?
