No Cowboys Here, Just Hard Working Hands







Pioneer Woman has Cowboy Josh, but at Still Waters we have "plantation-ette" hand Bennett- AKA Tractor. (That's the named he gave himself.)

Since it was a beautiful January "summer" day, Tractor came over to give us a hand on the "plantation-ette" today.
First he drove the tractor but I did not have my camera when he was doing a little ground prep.

Then Tractor climbed onto the lawn mower....
...and mowed the south forty.........
....................you can tell he's going fast!.............and it was hot work!

Tractor needed to test the corks to make sure they still float.........
.......even in rough water......................
.........They all checked out.
Tractor cleaned the beach while watching out for a gator.
Of course, the fish must be fed....

.......and sometimes the workers need feeding.
..........................................a lot!
..................................Tractor fed the fish..........................................


..................................fed both himself and the fish! Tractor likes to feed the small fish that stay close to the shore. Tractor is kind like that.

The pond manager of Still Waters said this boat was leaking...........................

..................................and Tractor decided to check for a hole.


..............You have to check carefully!

Then he made sure the boat is sturdy..............

Tractor then relaxed while choosing a perfect rock..........................


.................................................to toss across the pond.................


and practice a little throwing before reporting to the Braves camp for Spring training.


Then cooling down that throwing hand........................................


After a quick bath.....................................................rest..........................

..................................and refreshment..................................................


.......................Tractor was out to survey ...............................

..........................the land..................................

...................and the pond............
.......................... Good work Tractor. Thanks for helping!!!!
