A Christmas...Tractor?

Photo by Rick Rouse. The "Deere" featured in today's picture might have a shiny red nose, but you won't find it pulling Santa's sleigh come Christmas Eve. Instead, you'll find it sitting alongside a country road in southwestern Virginia, patiently waiting to greet the "Jolly Old Elf" and his famous team of reindeer on that special night. In celebration of the Christmas season, Cheria's cousin Zach drove his trusty John Deere farm tractor onto his front lawn, then covered it with a bunch of colorful lights to create a Christmas display that's a far cry from the "cookie-cutter" decorations that adorn so many yards this time of year. And let me tell you, it sure does command attention as people drive by on cold winter evenings! They say "Nothing runs like a Deere!", and I'm sure this one puts in plenty of time working around Zach's farm during the rest of the year. But until at least the day after Christmas it'll be enjoying its annual "vacation" out in the front yard!   Click here to comment on today's picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
