A tale of two friends.....

Meet Jacksons best friend...Mr. Mike.  He lives across the street from us and he owns a large orange tractor.  He is 85, Jackson is almost 3, and this relationship warms my heart.


Jackson and Mr. Mike worked some long hours together this week on that orange tractor.  They were seeding, planting, and picking up brush.  As soon as that orange tractor starts...Jackson is out the door in Mr. Mike's lap.  Mr. Mike....he can't hear a word Jackson says but they speak the universal tractor language.




In the morning, Jackson grabs Mr. Mikes paper and delivers it to his house...and they might share a cookie or two in the process ;)  They share a love of the outdoors and more importantly tractors.  

When the work is done for the day...Mr. Mike drives Jackson home on his tractor.

Good Job getting a free babysitter.

This is such a cute story! I'm sure Mr. Mike enjoys Jackson's company as much as Jackson enjoys his and the tractor's!
