Do any of you remember this? When we moved to our home we joked with each other- "Just throw it outside. We live in the country without neighbors- who cares?!!" We said this mainly because we found some very interesting things half-buried on our yard and pasture. One lone KED (you know, those cute little white tennis shoes). A fork. A cat food can. Some old box springs. One thing we can't quite figure out- either it's a car or an old refrigerator. And oh, a frying pan. But, several months ago my husband happened upon a treasure at the back corner of our property- not one, but TWO tractor tires. I wish you could see how big this is. So, hubby decided to drag one back to the house (thanks, babe). You could see the wheels turning, not just in his head but in the kids' heads, too. The girls got out their buckets and filled them with warm soapy water. That tire sparkled like no tire I'd ever seen.
And there it sat.....until today. It is late, 9:30 here and hubby is hanging that tire swing. Not only that, but our youngest is out there trying it out (my how I love homeschooling!). I can't wait to get pictures tomorrow. That is if the pasture doesn't swallow me up on the way out. It's almost baling time- have I told you lately how much I hate picking up hay?!!!
In Him,
E

How FUN! We are getting ready to hang one up too! Word of caution-a girl from our church got severely injured on one last year. She broke several bones in her arm and her leg too-had to have surgery. Thy tree they hung it on, couldn't handle the weight and the whole limb came down on her and crushed her arm and leg. Every time I see a tire swing I think of this-don't mean to be a downer-just wanted to share!
