The Jane West Chronicles

The Jane West Chronicles

See Johnny buy Jane a present.

When the handsome Johnny West returned home from his recent trip to southern Colorado to pick up a manure spreader, he brought Jane back something absolutely wonderful.

Her own Cub Cadet riding lawn tractor.

This cute little thing is the color of lemon drops, butterscotch, lemon meringue pie, citrus flavored Italian ice. My goodness, you just want to eat it up!

While Jane is head over heels in love with any farm equipment that makes her life easier, she wondered out loud to Johnny if Cub Cadet markets their products solely to women? After all, what self-respecting, red-blooded American male would have a tractor (er, mower…) called a Cub Cadet, unless maybe he’s eight-years old and a boy scout?

This has brought up a point of considerable contention between the usually harmonious Jane and Johnny. As Johnny presented her with the Cub Cadet, he announced magnanimously that they are now the owners of his and her tractors.

Histhe mondo Kubota Digger.

Hers―this little Buttercup mower.

Jane then had to remind Johnny that she has clocked far more hours on Digger than he has while shoveling the mountains of horse manure generated by their five equines. She advised him that the Kubota is unequivocally half hers, a fact that he stubbornly denies.

This has caused some tension in the West household.
