John Deere Green

Here are some pictures of Cade last week at the Thorne's farm. You see, several years ago, Rick (Heath's dad), restored an old Model A John Deere tractor that had originally been purchased by his grandfather, Henry Thorne (Cade's great-great grandfather). It is absolutely beautiful, and is actually on display every year at the Wilson County fair in the antique tractor display (I wrote about this back in an August post). Cade loves this tractor, and always wants to go outside to see it whenever he is at the Thorne's house. This year, Rick restored a John Deere pedal tractor that he got when he was three years old. It is so cute, and Cade, of course, thinks it is the greatest thing because he can ride on it (even though he has a way to go before his feet actually reach the pedals:). Rick, you did an amazing job on both!
