@PhoenixSerenity @Elleaster Fun fact: a direct descendant of the Cockshutt family who made those tractors was a neighbour (and client!) for many years!
@tantramar You should send her my photo 🙂
@PhoenixSerenity She had an old (1940s or 50s) wooden COCKSHUTT sign in her house when she lived in my neighbourhood, but would you believe I’d never even heard of Cockshutt tractors before meeting her ~25 years ago?
@tantramar I first saw Cockshutt tractors in the 80s. One of our refugee sponsor families owned farmlands & my parents would take us there for farm fun times. I have great memories from farms. I loved hayrides, ponyrides, tractor rides, helping to plant/harvest, tending to animals & learning to roll hay bales & more 👩🌾😀
@PhoenixSerenity I got bitten by a horse once. 😉 (Hurt quite a bit, but no damage done.)
@tantramar How did that happen & where did the equine try to eat you?
I've been bit on butt by an aggressive ostrich, during past elementary school field trip to a farm, when I worked as special needs TA. I had to use a donut pillow to sit for about a week after.
@tantramar
Cool small worlds share 😀
@PhoenixSerenity with the name of the tractor and the badass portrait, this is an amazing fight the patriarchy poster!

"I am a tiny woman, taking off with your huge tractor."
@PhoenixSerenity I like the name of the tractor.
@sunumbral It's an original 1946 model.
@PhoenixSerenity "Farmer John" but the title changed to "Farmer Banh" and the lyrics changed to match.
