In the Western Australia's South West. I learnt to drive on that old Fordson Major, ploughed a lot of paddocks and carted a lot of water and hay. It looks like a great place to grow up. Unlike those of us who were stuck in a city. John B and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I grew up on a series of Air Force bases, but the last base was in south Georgia, surrounded by tobacco farms and all sorts of camping opportunities. I do recall wolves and bobcats in the area, too, they both loved raiding chicken coops and small yappy-dogs left to run unwatched in the neighborhoods (even in base-housing). I made a strong effort to do all my jogging during daylight hours. Steve Good pattern. wombatie, kmmcrafts, John B and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dairy farm with pigs, sheep and pigs. We never had electricity, but we had a great life. I even have some pics somewhere of Mum in a hay wagon, pulled by Price, a draft horse. Great photos! I like the scroll saw work too, but I really like the photos. Thanks. OCtoolguy and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 While I never lived on a farm, I was fortunate to work on one during my high school and college years. I'm so happy I got to experience something that is rare these days, the family farm. I did this piece after seeing a cool photo of the farm owner's wife horseback riding.

John B Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I love the sentiment and the piece. Yep, like most things big corporations have taken over the family farm, with (in a lot of cases) help from the banks. It's heartbreaking to a farmer who has to sell his and his forefather's legacy. kmmcrafts, Charlie E and OCtoolguy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy My uncle always kept draft horses. Summers on the farm we used them to haul bales. I would be on the hay wagon stacking the bales while my cousin and hired hand tossed them up. Didn't need a tractor driver. The horses moved whenI yelled, "git" and knew to automatically stop,at the next bales. We had tremendous loads and those horses were in high heaven pulling that load. They were magnificent animals! I've always remembered those days. Unfortunately my children and grandchildren can never experience that. Makes me sad.
