Thanks for joining us on our visit to PA!!!!!
 
Great pictures! We'll just have to take a tour down that way Sometime! Know any good
tour guides? ( hint, hint) Ben
 
Looking back, then seeing these photos, there seems to be a pattern. You have completed so many projects around the place ahead of the recent health challenge, and have people looking out for you, there and here + you were able to get some things planted too ! If there ever was a time to have to take time off, you sure could not tell by these photos. I commend you for your strength and courage ! Not that you need advice, but if were me, I'd focus solely on getting well, ( with some mandatory trips to PA as needed LOL ! ) Glad to see you out and about, this has to do wonders for your morale. Its not easy to be on the bench, sooner or later the coach will definitely put you back in the game, just on spirit alone !

I have a friend fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer who wants no one to visit or see him except 1 close friend. Another with bone cancer who is standing his ground. These are not easy fights to win, and one of the 2 may not make it for long given what it is, but neither have given up for one second.
 
Larry,

Looking good! Both the gardens and you...
you look pretty perky and have good color (compared to earlier pics this summer).

Great that you and Mrs. Corner could make a PA trip.

Keep on keepin' on! :)
 
So reminiscent of the farm I left in Susquehanna Pa. Before we bought it they had an auction of contents where they auctioned off a golf cart the previous owner used to tour his property. He had MS and a few of the home window side trims had handles he used to pull himself up. We had five apple trees right in back of the house. All my larger tractor tools (ball joint puller, tire spoons, lug wrenches) had the handles painted blue to match my 67 blue Ford 2000 gas. I also had a 1957 gray Ford 2000. They both ran like a charm. Ah! memmories
 
Those are some right purdy pics, Larry. Was great to take a tour around the place. Crops and garden lookin' real nice, too!! And thanks for adding in that new retaining wall. Glad that's working out well. But you're happy that got done!

That's a beautiful place there! When the wife sees the pics later, I might be in trouble. She likes small country homes like that. Ours is small, but not nearly that nice.

And as mentioned, you're looking really good! Seems you're getting around better now - that's VERY encouraging!! ...As for you thinking you weren't going to get anything done this year....heck, there's folks half your age can't do that much in 3 years time!! Yes sir, an inspiration indeed! :wink:
 

Thanks for the pics Larry, things are looking good out there. We grew tons of the candy onions when we were selling produce, one year we had over 6 ton on less than a half acre! You will love them, we converted a lot of people. We dry ours with the stems on and they store well...we usually have them up til April. We are about to pull this years crop, somewhat smaller than in the past. Stay well :D
 
I remember well the picture of you cultivating them with the Allis G . Could you find that picture
and post it.I Sure would like to see it again!!!
 
sounds good to me,I can show you around,,and it will be on topic too,lots of tractors in the hood for you to see,Olivers,,IH,and Fords!
 
Great pics and proof you are on the mend. The one time that "getting fat" might be a good thing LOL. Your spirit is definately on the mend and that's what counts. The spirit guides the body. Great to see you back on here.
 
Everything looks nice and clean. Stonework job on driveway to the barn looks great! I remember when you did the job.
 
Larry, if I ever see any blue handled garden implements at a garage sale or on Craigslist, I will know where they came from!
 
Very nice. My wife and I enjoy
your pictures. Keep putting em on!
Good to see you out and about.
Positive outlook in great to see.
You put some folks to shame!
 
Im starting to feel better.My back was killing me for a while,Seems the mass was pressing the spine making me have bad pain,I had to take oxycontin pain pills for awhile.The chemo must be shrinking the mass,because I have no pain now ,,with zero pain medication.
 
Those candy onions are very good. But how would you like planting 10,000 seeds by hand. I have an Amish friend that raises them commercially and first year from seed they planted them all by hand with a tweeser. Now a neighbor has a seed planter they use. Have to get up and see him and find out if he has any ready.
 
Great pictures, Its good to see you haven't lost your eye for the good things in life. I look foreword to more pictures of your adventures.
Continue your healing ways,
Tim in OR
 
Them apples look good to me Larry. Just
think you went organic with them this
year lol. The apples I have here are
looking small and the trees seem to be
dropping leaves idk just what is going
on it has been wet here early on now
it's hot as blazes. I'm in the other
end of PA. Bout 15 miles south of Erie.
Keep on the fight man. My friend at
work is battling it and he says pi$$ on
it if I have to take a year off to gain
a bunch more than that's what I have to
do. You look and the place looks good.
