Trailer

Remember that new toy/tool — the trailer? I wasn’t sure why we needed it — but as it turns out — it’s VERY useful!

“How?” you ask.

It’s useful for bringing home more toys/tools! Why didn’t I see that coming?

“What new tool?” you ask.

A wood splitter, of course. Every farm needs one. We did go through a lot of fire wood last winter; and we do have an inexhaustible supply of dead trees around the property. Chris already has a chain saw, so the wood splitter was inevitable, I suppose. And then he got to use the trailer too! It’s a great day on the farm!

I didn’t think we needed a pick-up truck, but I will confess, it has come in handy a couple of times. It’s great to throw things in the truck bed and off we go — bags of dirt, Forsythia bushes, even shelving for my greenhouse. But I really DON’T think we need a trailer too. I mean, isn’t that what the bed of the pick-up truck is for?

But I got out-voted, and now we have the cutest little trailer. I think it might be good for hauling a goat — but I think Chris envisions using it to take in his John Deere tractor in for service — if it ever needs servicing. Of course, they can come pick up your John Deere tractor for servicing — if it ever needs servicing, and you don’t have to have a trailer — but — just in case, now we have one.
