Memories On the Farm

Memories of long ago A simpler time of sunny days filled with laughter watching the clouds go by Helping on the farm feeding and bedding all the animals making hay on a hot summers day cleaning barns was great when done walking bean fields pulling weeds picking rocks so will not reck the machines Helping in the kitchen meals plus lunches Mom and I would make a coffee break snack for mid morning workers then lunch was put in the oven an afternoon cake and coffee had to be made supper was when the work was done Washing clothes a long days job as the new wash machine mom had was too good to be used a Maytag ringer in the basement was the clue Never ending work on the farm
