Tractor Envy

It is true…some of my friends have ‘tractor envy’.  Well, not Our Friend the Farmer, because he has a lot of tractors, but some of you do…especially my friends in California and especially if you’ve had a chance to drive Jubal (our Ford Jubilee tractor just slightly older than I am).  I know…I understand…tractor driving is gardening therapy on steroids.  I’ve even received tractor gifts, you can tell I use this coaster from the morning coffee rings it has collected.

However, this post is not about me, it is about you…and coming clean….those of you who will admit to having tractor envy…because it is true…’we are only as sick as our secrets’ and because…this is your chance!!!  I’ve found you your very own Jubal!  All you have to do is make an offer!

That is it!  You too can own a Jubal and drive it and be happy…because let me tell you…tractor driving will just make you smile and smile.  This baby is all freshly painted and ready to go, if I could justify ‘his and her’s’ tractors, I’d be making an offer, but a tiny bit of self-control remains, so I’ve passed this opportunity along to you.  Isn’t she pretty?  I’ll happily pick her up for you.

I know those of you in my hometown have a significant lack of drive thru Starbucks…but wouldn’t I love to see one of you rolling through ‘In n’ Out Burgers’ on this baby!

PS: Don’t think that an opportunity like this comes along everyday!  Most farmers do NOT get rid of anything because they have the room to keep it and well…they might need it.  They especially do not get rid of tractors, which I totally understand, so if you want it…well, you’d better get busy and make an offer!

    I don’t think that there would be too much josseling for a parking space by the Beemer brigade if you drive a tractor Miriam!

    Yes, I do have tractor envy! I think I could ride it around my parent’s yard!

      Or you could drive it down Honolulu Blvd to Trader Joe’s!

    Our neighbor has a tractor much like your “Jubal” and a few times has even plowed the snow from our driveway (when he had “her” it at his house).
    Now I do admit to my “Tractor Envy”, but MY garden is only 8 ft. x 16 ft. !
    I’ll just have to wait till we visit you again.
    xoxoxo, Rob

    Oh! She sure is a beauty! I would love to taxi on up to In-and-Out on her and see the expression on people’s faces! Like to park it in front of Penelope’s on Foothill blvd. too. And then go shopping at Von’s and Trader’s. Think I could fit in Trader’s parking spaces!?

      Ooh parking would be easy. Perhaps Gary could buy it for your birthday.
