. . . and a little sore this morning. Why you ask? (okay you might not be asking but I am going to tell you anyway)
Yesterday morning I was walking Taffi and minding my own business when I noticed that someone had dumped a tractor tire in the field near our house. I thought to myself I must tell Matt, because believe it or not we had just discussed tractor tires this weekend. I know we are weird. Anyway I decided we must have said tire. I figured it would make a nice sandbox or garden.
Matt came home last night and asked why I hadn’t brought the tire home. Ummm because it is a large tire and I thought it would be fun easier to do together. I had to remind him we needed to do this before the sun went down as it was in the middle of the desert. He was still being slow because he thought how long could it take to bring home this little tire, yes apparently in his head it wasn’t all that big.
Here is Matt standing next to the tire:
For those of you who don’t know my husband is over six feet, so it is a decent size tire and I couldn’t even lift it by myself.
Lucky us when we got there we spotted two more smaller tractor tires and decided to take one of those home too. Here is me with my tire:
It took as around 30 minutes to roll the dang things home! I dropped mine way too many times (believe it or not they didn’t roll all that well). Matt managed to keep his upright the whole time, he must be super strong.
In the end we decided to use the tires as gardens. I checked and it is a safe use for gardens, at least according to the internet. We were planning on building raised bed gardens this weekend out of wood and now we will have less to buy.
For anyone interested in the Maricopa area there is still one of the smaller tires left. I will gladly show you where it is if you are interested, but I will not roll it anywhere. Okay I might, it was a really good workout.
Here is a picture of how dirty I got rolling the tire home, for some reason Matt wasn’t nearly as dirty:
