It's been getting downright chilly around here, so we haven't been scampering up farm machinery quite as much, but Desert Boy has an alternative: his John Deere scooter tractor. His favorite thing on it is the steering wheel, which he can turn and turn and turn.
It seems he does the best scooting when he goes in reverse. That can get him in trouble if he's not paying attention to where he's going.
Alternatively, he will sometimes walk around and just carry the tractor with him. It's a hoot to watch.
Eventually Desert Boy gets off the tractor. What could be better than driving his high-rev vehicle?
Hi! I'm Gretchen, an ecologist, rancher's wife, mother, writer, and dreamer. I've lived and worked in three of the four North American deserts and visited the fourth. This blog is about what it's like to live in the rural high desert on a ranch, spending lots of time outdoors with kids, and our journey to live more sustainably.
