Workin' on the farm

Well, since I haven't done anything on our blog since March, I thought I would update it and put some new pictures on our blog. On Friday, mom and I hauled our tractor and equipment to Preston to do a little work on "Bybee's Back Acres". Mom took some pictures of me workin' and drivin' the tractor and I took a few of her as we were making a sandwich and takin' a little time to rest. Needless to say we had a ball, at least I know that I did. I finally got to drive my tractor around and do some much needed work on our place in Preston. I think mom had a real good time also. She calls me Hyrum and she is May. What I am referring to is some neighbors that we had when we lived out on the Indian Reservation. There names were Hyrum and May Martin and they lived next door to me and my parents. They both worked at the State Mental Hospital in Blackfoot, Idaho and they worked the afternoon shift. Every night when they would get home from work at about midnight, Hyrum would stop the car at the gate to their property and May would get out and open the gate, Hyrum would drive the car through the gate and instead stopping to pick up May after she closed the gate, good old Hyrum would just keep on driving down to the house about a quarter mile away. He would make May walk all the way to the house. Mom said that what we were doing on our farm reminded her of May and Hyrum. We took down the barbed wire from our fence and rolled it up into several rolls then I would drive the tractor along and mom would throw the rolls into the bucket on the tractor. When we had it all picked up, I drove the tractor over and dumped it out by the fence and I made mom walk behind me all the way. So, we were May and Hyrum for a day. I told her that she could drive the tractor but she didn't want to. Anyhow here is some pictures we took while we were in Preston.
