One of the times I stopped traffic, I had my 9 & 11 year old grandkids with me. When we need to cross a two-lane bridge, the lead flag person needs to go on ahead and stop traffic on the other side. Our biggest tractor, and the seeder, are so wide that they literally take up two lanes as we travel through a town. We farm in about seven locations in about a 15-mile radius.
Some farm implements like seeders and harrows. I'm in a pickup complete with a WIDE LOAD sign and blinking lights, that leads a caravan of various lengths. What I mean by being the lead flag person is only that. Here's how hubbie does it instead: This is our smallest tractor, of three, which actually does field work.
However, with over an acre of grass and a runway to mow, we seldom use the riding lawnmower. Or any other kind of tractor, except our riding lawnmower. I seriously would never know how to operate a huge, John Deere or Versatile tractor.
It's only that I'm the lead (and frequently only) flag person. You might be wonder what I mean when I say I help move farm machinery. He's now been rained or winded out for several days. The weather improved for a while before getting bad again. I downloaded several e-books on Edwardian social life and customs, and purchased some used nonfiction about early Spokane.īesides those things, I spent a considerable amount of time helping hubby move farm machinery this week. Or I might bump that up to 1910-I'm working out a series of books based on this idea and these characters, and one of them needs to take place after Prohibition. Except that I'm combining Edwarian sensibilities with what was still basically The Wild West in Spokane, WA, 1905. I have always loved that era, and with Downton Abbey being so popular, it seems that a lot of others love it as well. I'm also beginning to do more research for my new novel, which takes place in the Edwardian era. I've now downloaded 25 ARCs, at least 15 of which I still need to read and review. On the reading front, I am no longer searching for books to review on NetGalley, as they now know my tastes and are emailing me about books I might want to read, and are even pre-approving me for them.
