With just a smidgen more imagination, I could feel that air in my lungs. Looks like water over there; wondering if it's lake or stream. Effects details of my dream.
I love them old barns

Thanks for the barns, Jim.
Sorry if I posted this ugly barn before… I built this hay barn in 1974. I was a teenager. My grandfather was almost blind with cataracts but he helped me, usually handing up lumber. On the far side was a side shed with 3 stalls for penning cattle. Wish I had $2k to refurbish it. The hillside has washed away, afraid its going to collapse.
Parked right beside it is a chisel plow I built a couple of years later. We still use it every couple of years. I used a coil spring to provide flexibility (nonridged).
Beside that is an old hayrake I remember using one year. Grandpa pulled it with a tractor while I sat on the rake and operated it.

As a kid , I played in one just like this, a snake magnet.

Peanut, I have my grandpa's old hay rake just like that one. He drove a Farmall Cub and pulled me around on that to rake up his hay. Then used pitchforks to loaded the hay into his barn loft. I thought throwing hay bales was hard work. They didn't have nothing on a pitchfork and loose hay.
I sure miss those times spent with Papaw out working.

Me too! I miss the times and the way people were backthen. When society had some sense. And the old barns too.

An excellent pic in multiple aspects. That the pump reminds me of a Hornady single-stage press may be the least of them

Tremendous. I really wish that was mine. Perfectly composed picture. That reflection is hard to beat.
