Rubber FlowerBeds!!

















See those two tires?  You should have seen Dwayne and I rolling them to the driveway down on the side of the house - earlier today - and loading them into the back of the pickup.  Dwayne could barely see my eyes from the other side.

For those of you unfamiliar - these were loaded with water.  Farmers tend to load rear tractor tires with various liquids ( safe ones - of course ) for better traction.


And for those of you unfamiliar - I'm only 4' 11" in height.




















Finally - after the past two rounds of days off spent on looking for rear tractor tires!

And we want to thank the guys at Helms Tire on Hwy. 411 in Madisonville, TN.  They’re good people - wonderful customer service.


























Hubby looks like a little boy up there - going out to play on his toy!  I like his new stack he rigged.  This will help when we get ready to cut hay.





















As boys will do - they never can wait to go give their toys that little ‘ test run ‘ - and he did!

Dwayne brought the old tires back home - rather than paying $30 to leave 'em.

They'll make perfect raised beds to plant flowers right around the Chicken Hotel - huh!  LOL

Boys and their toys! LOL Great idea to use the tires for flower beds...think DH used ours for hay feeders but flowers are good too. :)

Love the tractor...sure DH would to...course he is a tractor nut. LOL

Oh and wow, you aren't very tall...I'm....ummmm....6'2". LOL Way to tall for a "girl", but least I don't have to do much on ladders around my house....since I hate the things. *giggle* Thankfully DH is taller than me, so it doesn't bother me anymore being so tall. :)
