Every year in the fall season, our little nearby community of 500 (Rosholt) hosts a tractor pull right on main street. The tractors are hooked up with a heavy chain to a heavy sled that has a weight that moves forward once the tractor has begun its pull. At one point the tractor is unable to move anymore because the weight pushing on the rubber treads causes too much friction to pull.
The tractor pull goes on all day with antique tractors followed by the big boys and ending up with the "common" tractors that farmers use in their daily work.
Beer and sandwiches are served to the visitors who sit on makeshift chairs or grandstands. It's an event to see (at least once in your lifetime).
Andrew and the kids came over and invited Karol to go with them. I took a couple of pictures and videos and then went to the property to get some mulch to David and bring back a load of wood.

| The tractor pull is a good time to visit with friends. |

| They'll all have their turn to pull the sled. |

| I took a load of wood mulch to the property and David helped me load the wood that I cut for my downstairs wood stove. We don't use that stove real often, but when it's very cold, it helps keep the house warm. |

| Karol has been nursing this pot of moss roses all summer. As you can see, it paid off! |
A couple weekends too late, Isaac would have loved it! Nice color on the leaves this year, not here though, second driest September on record! Not even a half an inch of rain this month.
