Small Boy, Big Truck, Huge Dreams

We had some concrete poured this morning for a porch [someday] and to avert water from the basement window well that tends to fill up with the run off of water from the roof. The truck arrived & I knew it would be something Gage wouldn't want to miss. Steve told him he could come out & watch. This made me a bit nervous because, well, what comes to mind when you think of wet concrete and a three year old? But he was so good & just stood & watched in awe. Steve lifted him up on the truck & they let him work the levers that move the chute back & forth, up & down. What a day to remember!

It's a good think you have a boy that likes to farm and do that kind of stuff. We may never have one to take over the farm, at least there is Gager!!!
