What an awesome start to the day. As you might know by now, my guys ALL really, really, really love all things motorized. They will drop whatever they are doing to look at that motorcycle zooming down the road, listen to the tractors in the field, watch daddy on the mower out the window… Whatever it is, they stop and intently watch. This morning was no different.
Ross came in and said, “Guys, come out here for a minute and look at something.” Of course I am not going to be left out. I have to keep up too. Wish I would have grabbed my camera when I first went out the door. How was I to know that we weren’t looking at the cute giant white bunny munching on the grass out by the pool? Who would have guessed at 7:15 in the morning we would see this…
The crop dusters were all out working early this morning! Right before the “yellow plane” sprayed this field just past our property line, the “white plane” was in a field right across the road. Then the second “yellow plane” came in to finish up this field too. Cool, huh?
Now seeing crop dusters at work around here is not unusual at all. In fact, we drive past one of the hangers each time we go to town. They fly over the house almost daily traveling from field to field or banking and turning to make a pass over a nearby field. But to see them at eye level just a few dozen feet away was sooo awesome! Braden has been warped all day. Every toy he picks up becomes a crop duster. Riley had to be pried away when his ride to school pulled up. Tanner was perfectly content to stand on the deck and point up at the sky looking for the planes to come by again.
See anything exciting in your view of the sky lately?

Just in case you were wondering, there was almost no air moving this morning, and the plane behind the house was spraying liquid fertilizer on wheat, this farmer usually does his own spraying, but the ground was too wet. We are cautious of being outside when the neighboring fields are being sprayed and pay attention to the wind direction.
