Outdoor sightings

Yesterday my partner and I were driving through southern Vermont back to Boston. On a narrow country road we saw a larger tractor coming and it pulled over to the side so we could get by. To our amazement there was a woman driving that large tractor. I didn't know women drove tractors, maybe I have been living in Boston too long.

You have been! Women are an integral part of the farm and not just fit house work. Go west and you’ll find them operating every piece of machinery available.
Here we have women operating the 365 ton ore trucks.

@Quimliqer Most of my life has been in the Boston area. I have been as far west as Chicago and did at a museum climb up in the cab of a John Deere tractor that was on display. Sorry to say have not been in the rural areas much. Maybe I need to do that sometime..
