Off Center & Not Even 
Is Nora going to be ok ?
Yes. Nore will be fine. She is far enough from the project that it will not bother her. Thanks, Gabriela.
😊🤗
I have great faith in the supervisory skill sets of tractors!! I hope Nora will be safe.
Nora is safe. The project is along the way to Nora. Tractors are great supervisors. Thanks, Rebecca.
I do hope Nora will be safe. That’s an awesome red tractor.
Nora is safe. Thanks, Holly.
They better NOT come near Momma Wowl’s tree Timothy! Whether that tractor is red or not.
There are two ditches and most of the width of the bosque before they could get near Nora Owl. Thanks, Shey.
And there is also Timothy Price…
I hope the owls will not be disturbed by this project.
It won’t bother her at all. Thanks, picpholio.
Love the vintage tractor.
Thanks, Couriers.
Coincidentally our area has been under the spell of an irrigation project, only the pipes here are concrete and huge! They could serve as shelters! Unfortunately our tractor is not as nice, a rusty green one moving back and forth! Glad they’re not disturbing the Owl family!
Culvert pipe can be really huge. Sounds like your tractor has character. Thanks, Marina.
Oh, that it does! Soundwise too! 🙄
Love me a red tractor!
One would be useful. Thanks, Dale.
🙂
I imagine the tractor is waiting for the project’s completion so it can get to work. Nora is secretly supervising both. Nice shot!
That’s a thought. Thanks, Mary Jo.
Nice clean Farmall tractor. Somebody appreciates and cares for the older equipment! Help me out here: what will the finished irrigation project be, in other words what will the water delivery system be? Sprinklers, drip, flood or what? That’s a massive amount of piping!
Hi Maj & Sher. I assume they will be flood irrigation like I do. I think they are replacing open ditches with pipes.
That is some sizable piping. Does this project have anything to do with the beavers?
I don’t think beavers have anything to do with it. Instead of open ditches like I have they are going to pipe the water.
That tractor is shining beautifully! We have a similar one back at the LakeHouse that Sweet Man refurbished. We love it and use it often.
Happy Tuesday Tim!
Tractors are useful. Thanks, Nancy.
This red tractor is very nice. I wish I could have a miniature one, a toy one! My greeting to Nora, I hope she’ll be ok.
Thanks, Flo. 1/16 models of the tractor are available on Amazon in the US: https://www.amazon.com/ERTL-16-Farmall-FFA-Logo/dp/B07DNJRPSJ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=QPKXYS6RO37E&dchi. You might find one on French Amazon.
It is currently unavailable.
I can’t find the way to like your comments, I can reply but not like them… Sorry for not doing it, then.
You always have a good eye for color and composition! 😉
Excuse me, Timothy, but what are you producing on these fields? Thanks in advance?
I’ll have to see what the owner plants. Generally farmers plant chiles, corn, squash, pumpkins, beans, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, etc., and various grasses for hay out here. Thanks, Martina.
Thank you Timothy for your answer! I will check out for the difference between squash and pumpkin!:)
There are all types of squash. Not sure how many types of pumpkins there are.
When I tried to find the translation of “squash” in German, I found “pumkin” but “zucchini” (Italian) seems to be correct! Thank you, Timothy for your help:)
Zucchini is one type of squash. Other common squashes are butternut and eggcorn squash.
👍🌺
Hopefully, the pipes won’t affect the water in your ditch. You’d hate to see idled beavers and muskrats with nothing to do.
They will effect water our way when it’s in use. I’m down stream of that project. The beavers only go to the irrigation ditch to play when it has water in it. Thanks, David.
I can relate. We have a sewer relining & intersection remodelling going on outside my home. It sounds like Godzilla vs King Kong out there. I’m losing my mind, whatever is left of it.
The good news is that it will be finished in summer – 2022!!!
I can feel for you. A few months after we moved into the first apartment in Madrid, Spain, the city started on a new Metro stop and it went on 24 hours a day for the year and a half we were in that apartment. Godzilla vs King Kong is a good description of the noise.
🎼ARRGGHHHH…🎶..sssNAARRlllll, ZZrrrrr Zrrr, etc. It’s a symphony of machinery and cement!🎶
You need to record it. I could make a song out of it.
I’m sure I could make noises better than sing. Let’s try a parody when your work is done and hands heal.
I’m thinking the songs “Lovers Concerto” (turned into Construction Concerto)OR
even “Downtown”… something to do with down in the sewer…. or “Down in the Boondocks”?
We’ll have to do it. I know Downtown, but Lovers Cencerto is not ringing a bell. I’ll look it up.
Hahaha! Maybe Working In A Coal Mine is a good one.
At least Downtown (Down Hole) is easy-ish to sing!
Down Hole is promising.
