There’s something quietly magical about the sound of an old tractor rumbling across our little homestead.
That deep, earthy growl—it’s like a song I’ve known all my life. More than a machine, it feels like a heartbeat that steadies me, connecting me to something ancient and familiar.
When I was young, I spent hours riding on open-air tractors like this—sometimes with my dad, sometimes with one of my older sisters at the wheel.
I still remember the cold morning air, the scent of diesel and turned soil, the steady roar carrying across the fields. Back then, it was just life happening around me—the background music of home.
Now, when this engine comes to life, a quiet joy stirs inside me. It’s as if the girl I once was lifts her head again, smiling at something she forgot she loved. Maybe it’s nostalgia—or maybe it’s the sound of healing.
