Magnus Magnusson

Magnus, son of Magnus arrived today!!! OK, for those of you who don't know about Magnus, that is the name of our old tractor. Named in honor of Shannon's great-grandfather who emigrated to the US from Sweden. Thus when we decided to purchase a new tractor, there was only one name to be considered - Magnus Magnusson - "Son of Magnus"

Have a look:

Ready for action

Happily, our old tractor gets to stay in the family. My cousin Julie's husband Randy is a closet hayseed who loves farming. They are actually getting a horse, cow, and other things that can get out of a fence and eat the neighbors bushes... Have fun with that - we'll stick to grapes! So they came and picked up Magnus and took him to his new home. Here's some pics of Shannon saying goodbye (you know how attached women get to their tractors...) :-)

Shannon, Tamra, and Magnus
Total silliness
And more silliness!
