A Little History

At the top of one of our pastures, just along the edge of the woods, sits an old piece of farm equipment.
 You could almost miss it walking by; it's almost sunk completely down into the earth.
I'm always pleased to see it, like an old friend, on occasions where I walk by.  I can't help but wonder about the farmer that used to perch on that metal seat, steering his horses.  What did he plant?  And where?  If only rusty farm equipment could talk!

    Those look like pieces of hay rakes without the large wheels.
    All of the rain has probably uncovered them by now.

    I wonder where the wheels went, possibly on another piece of equipment or in someones front yard

    Isn't it amazing that it has not disintegrated, but instead is being swallowed up by the earth? They don't make stuff like they used to.

    That is interesting!

    My husband used to live in the back woods of Missouri growing up. He found arrowheads (lots of them). He always wished he knew the back stories about them.

    So do you have any plans to unearth this treasure, or will you just let it be?

    Blessing and Bear hugs!

    the spikes look like the skeleton of an interesting creature, is there anyway of finding out who he was and what he farmed? Neighbours, library, archives, it would be fun to know...

    Wow, looks like it's returning to the soil, like logs in a forest. (Ever see those signs on a nature trail?)

    That's pretty cool! Yes, I do wish that rusty old farm equipment, old furniture, trees, and old houses could talk. I bet they've seen a lot in their time!
