There are some memories, one of my first visits to farming grandparents near Truro was threshing day. The entire community must have been there. Four tables full of pies, and a platoon of boys on burros and ponies carrying water in wet burlap covered gallon jugs to the thirsty hands manning the threshing machine.
Oh, and thanks for your comment on the Ford. I've got some other old cars coming up in the future so keep your old mind sharp. My old mind is shutting down, me thinks.
Thats an oldie. nice.

ReplyDeleteVERY nice find. Thanks for bringing it to us.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet those machines are examples of some of the first mechanized farm equipment. Fascinating. Nice shot!

ReplyDeleteThe smaller one is that miniature or the scale is a little skewed because of the distance?
ReplyDeleteNice rural shot.
ReplyDeleteThese have had a long life by the look of it. Nice find!
