Thanks Ray, Yep all from Our farm at a little place called Caterick, 10 miles from a slightly larger place (pop 300) Greenbushes, where I went to primary school. 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.

Cool pictures!

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.

A few projects related to farms along with some pics of a real farm
The photos are of the farm I grew up on. 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.

Do you know where I could find the pattern for the Santa cow? My favorite Christmas book is called Santa Cows.

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.

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.

I love that pattern! You did a great job cutting it.  Do you mind saying where the pattern may be found?

Made a few Farm scenes  quite awhile back, some intarsia and some Marketery and some  just normal. Enjoy

I wonder if you look up the word "Mahindra" in the Indian dictionary if you will see a John Deere tractor pictured. Just curious.

Those are all beautiful Pete. Thanks for posting them. I love the last one with the plow horses. Reminds me of our time driving through the Amish country.

It is Kathy Wise pattern. I have it in the Scrollsaw magazine Holiday issue volume 2.

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.

Our neighbour on the farm had two draft horses Prince and Blackie. Dad used to borrow them a lot to pull a dray while carting hay and especially to snig logs out of the bush.

I've been there and done that.  The draft horses on two of the farms that I worked at were amazing!

Cut it a long time ago.  I am pretty sure the tractor is a Steve good pattern.  I added the script "Nothing runs like a Deere"

Thank you so much! I won't be in the shop today as the temp is 17 degrees. You did great on the pattern and the font is perfect. Thanks again from a country boy.

Hey, it's -17 degrees (Celsius of course) here.  That's about 0 degrees in the archaic scale
