I have several of my Dad and his brothers working on their farm- they never had the money for a tractor so they worked with mules. I think we're a little soft in this day and time, don't you? I know I am!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094100868459032429.post-44360496262617878782008-09-09T14:47:00.000-04:002008-09-09T14:47:00.000-04:00Kim, grandma was usually good with the camera.

And, yes, someone had to do it!<BR/><BR/>Susan, I can't remember the names of the horses grandma's dad had. I know they were a good team though. She used to talk about them as if they were pets.<BR/><BR/>Don, let those chooks run free.

I can remember my dad using a horse to plow the vegetable garden.

They are great!! You are most fortunate to have them. That last one is just FANTASTIC!!!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't know of any farmers in my line, but there is something about a farm that draws me, that's for sure. But not the work! It would be great to do the farming if it's what you love and you just have to doRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
