Tractor

Today I stopped by Sonny Acres Farm's Fall Festival because I noticed a car show. As I left, I started taking pictures of old farm machinery and tractors. I heard a man behind me comment/question why I was taking pictures of machinery. I walked over and had a chat with him. He was there because he had a 1950 car to show. We talked about being drawn to the farm life; me because my grandparents (and extended family) farmed in Ohio and he because his wife was from southern IL where there are many farms. He grew up in the city of Chicago and now lives in the western suburbs. You just never know who you'll meet and what interesting conversation you can have when you "stop and take a look-see."


This is the car he brought to the show with him sitting behind it.
