So, let's get started. Mom was great and took me to the big equipment show downtown Thursday. Not only did I get to ride a shuttle bus (something I fell in love with in Florida last year) ...
... I got to drive a big, powerful tractor ...
... a big, powerful combine ...
... and pretend to drive a big, powerful sprayer. However, as every safe farmer knows sprayers have chemicals and those aren't safe for a young farmer like me to be around so I didn't put the sprayer through the paces like the tractor and combine.
The day was capped off with another shuttle bus ride. Awesome!
Today I said goodbye to my amaryllis plant. Dad kept singing some old song about turning that I didn't get but he seemed to think the moment when flower farmer Pierce said goodbye to his crop was meaningful. I didn't have the heart to tell him that it was fun just to throw something away.
After it was in the trash both Dad and I decided that we just had to stand around for awhile and get our wits about us.
Mom suggested I help make cookies and I jumped at the chance! Add butter ...
... then, when she's not looking crank the mixer to its fastest setting! Ha! What a rush. Mom said a couple of things I didn't catch ... 
... then just grabbed my by the head and gave me a kiss. (Sometimes she does that when she doesn't know what else to do.)
My friend Anna came over for a bit this afternoon and after we walked her home I helped Dad shovel. 
I also helped Mom with her snowman. 
I think she did pretty well, thanks to me! This is one powerful snowman! 
Good job, mama llama!
Later!Pierce
