Tractor Parade

We watched a tractor parade last weekend. I vaguely remember reading about it in the local newspaper, but since we live so far out of town, I didn’t pay much attention. Just and Gene and I finished our 3 plus hours of mowing, we loaded up in the Kubota to go fertilize some trees. As we headed down the hill, I could see the line of tractors coming towards us. We parked at the end of the drive and watched a line of 20-30 mostly vintage tractors drive by. Each displayed an American flag and most of the drivers were standing and waving at us as they went by. We got several thumbs up as they pointed at our Kubota Utility Vehicle. I’m certain they were envious. We do, after all, have air conditioning! It was quite a site to see a long line of tractors climbing the hill on the county highway. I suspect that their parade route was over 30 miles long. We had quite a chuckle as they passed and we saw a few cars that were unfortunate enough to be on the road at the same time. They all seemed to be taking it in stride.  What a great celebration of country life!
