Lucky you. Baling hay is a miserable job.

Threshing grain is even worse. *BTDT.

And a seriously nice 1951 Chevy parked in front. I was a tinkerer in
my youth; while my friends were getting big arms tossing bales, I was
under the hood keeping the trucks working.

Whatever happened to them olden days? Amongst the misery of working so
hard after school, for pennies if you were lucky, there was a real
health and vigor in that rural lifestyle. Its not all 'agrarian
mythology'.

I sometimes think of how much the world has changed since then. Not
only the material world, but I think of the stunning natural places
that were around then, but are gone now.

Getting older, I guess. Great pictures.
