Tractors and PPF

Paint Party Friday: Week 3, Year 8 Check-in

50th Anniversary of the company
1847 – 1897

I was at my client's house, and I pulled out a book from her shelf. It happened to be this one. The Big Book of Massey Tractors (2001) I was looking for a photo of a tractor, as I'd done the barn in my drawing, and thought I'd put a red tractor front and centre! What a coincidence! I modeled my tractor on the first one.
It is a Massey Harris Model 25, built between 1936 and 1946.




This is Harris, the other dude is Massey.


Coincidently, they have a photo in the book. This snow machine dates from the time of the trailer I found.

We have lots of tractors around here. There is a lot of hay harvested for agriculture.
 

Old-time farm equipment and hay bales!

On our way into Constance Bay, we always pass these dudes. Now, the people are mannequins, but the horses, for example, look like horse statues.
I always do a double take. It looks like a group of old time, pioneer families on their way west.
Now, hubby grew up on a working farm in the 50s –they didn't have electricity or running water. He said they had all of this old equipment, and it was older than neighbouring farmer's equipment at that time. This looks like a museum.

One looks closer...

The most amazing display we've ever seen!

Then there is this spot

Totem poles and bird houses

Someone told me about the Montana What the Hay! contest.

"What the Hay!" began in 1989 as a joke between two neighbors. There were no rules or prizes. . . just a personal one-upsmanship between friends. It was done with such humor that another local decided to make a contest out of it.

Last fall, this plant nursery always does up a wonderful display.


The first bales are being taken off of the fields in Ontario in June. This is a cow!
