Tractor day YEAH!

Paaha and Nic have left for home and by now are hopefully there safe and sound and happy to be home. We miss you!!!!!!! and would be so happy if you can come next year.

T 

The weather has turned somewhat cooler and fall is here, there and everywhere at Stoney's now. (more pics later of pumpkin and the abundant blessings of this season)

I'm so excited to tell you how happy I am about this.....

  

Last Saturday Lynn and Billy invited me to go to an auction with them. On of the things we went for was another greenhouse (we got one) Yeah! BUT< we also got this adorable tractor that I longed for ever since I started working at Stoney's. She's a "JUST MY SIZE" tractor, 1953 and runs like a charm! Lynn and I will make good use of this baby on the farm. I was happy when Billy bid and got her that I had to turn around as I was in tears of joy! I love it! And I drove it already and love it even more now! I know Pasha and Nic would love to drive it too. YES? (We hope to hear from you two if you read this)

Here we are, Lynn and myself (this pic for Marylou, smile) sitting on her once she got loaded for the trip back home.

And heres one of me on her too.

It issn't everyday a girl wants a tractor, and it surely isn't every girl who gets what she wants

Thank you Billy, Thank you Lynn YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST and Bless my life everyday!  I love, love love this baby! 

homeward bound soon

These four feet have walked our farm fields for weeks now, picking veggies/pulling weeds, and on this day treking through the mud to do so, after heavy rain the night before. The land on which they walk is better for their having been here, and we are touched as well forever by having come to spend time working with two such fine and charming young men.

It won't be long now (just a few days) before they head home and we will miss them. Perhaps next year they will wish to come back and be part of our Summer Stoney Family again.

Just a picture for whom else but his mama. I am going to miss his great smile when they leave us for home.

And I will miss hearing the sound of the "Little car" (what Pasha calls his  transport to bring in the sunflowers from the fields).

Pumpkins have arrived and today we all worked hard unloading and putting them up. Much more to do but some pictures tomorrow if I remember to stop for a minute and take some pictures.

Pasha and Nic went to the Amish Country in Pennsylvania with Billy to pick up some of our pumpkins that are grown there for us each year. It was a fun trip for them both. Wait until you see all the kinds of pumpkins we have, I can't wait to show you.  Nic admires them as I do and today he showed me one as I was decorating one of our wagons. He knew I would want to use this particular one in my display. Pasha put together a ground pallet of several kinds together today and was proud of what he did...I LOVED IT! 

It won't be easy for us who have coem to love these kids when its time to goodbye. But I also know they will be glad to go home...as no matter where you wander there is no place like home and the family and friends that wait for you there. I hope they will always think of us as friend and maybe even think of us as family and stay in otuch through email. God Bless them Both Always! 

All for tonight, lots of pumpkins to lift tomorrow, off to bed for an early rise and to welcome a new day as summer sneaks away and Fall turns the corner to greet us.
