Something new from the strip pit area

When we were passing through the strip pits this weekend, I spotted something new....this toy tractor perched on top of this post. Every where I look, I see a story wanting to be told with no one to tell it. It is probably at least a mile to any house near this post...and no one has lived any closer in years and years so how did this wind up here. I figure it has been lost, and someone else found it and perched it up there so it could possibly be found again.

It reminds me of a story about one of my nieces....when she was young, she had a bear that went with her everywhere she went. I can't remember how old she was, but at least not in school. At least I am almost positive she wasn't in school. Her mom and her had went to town...not sure but possibly her grandma, too. But for some reason I think it was just her and her mom. They go, they come back home, and no bear returned with them. I don't remember how long it took to discover the bear wasn't with them, but soon as they discovered it, they backtracked and went back to town, to where they were parked and found him sitting on top of a parking meter! Thank God for kind samaritans that know children!

I didn't ask for permission to tell this story, but I don't think she will mind....specially since no names have been mentioned.
