Default Fun on the farm

We are having a good summer here. The other day the grandkids and I went down on the farm to collect some bamboo stakes. They thought it was great fun!

Yep, no problems here, but minor damage close to the epicentre. We take them in our stride unless they are big ones.

The photo with the four girls on the running board is priceless. The best Model A photos are those with young people around them.

I applaud you for using a truck like a truck. Good to see the old iron working.

They have many uses and make great tomato stakes, but in this case the kids wanted to make a hut so they could sleep out and have a campfire, with toasted marshmallows.

My wife runs a small publishing business and we occasionally need to bring a load of paper home. Paper is surprisingly heavy and the load shown in the pic weighs about 475 pounds.
