The Last Barn on the Farm
This barn was built in 1929, just before the stock market crash. It is featured in Eddie Edson's book, Tales From Deer Creek. When it was finished, they had a big dance in the loft complete with fist fights among the young bucks!

Fall Rains Have Finally Come
Harvest is all but over, thankfully. We finally quit about 1PM today. There is no more room to store anything on the farm, so what is left will have to be hauled off the farm to be stored or sold. Soybeans probably averaged in the high forties and the corn almost 150 bushels per acre. Less was left on the ground than I imagined, but I still have a fair supply of squirrel corn for the Hensels. Emma will need something to distract her from the new arrival that is due the 22nd of next month. I am pleased that my job finished before the cold weather came (snow is forecast next week). I didn't have to drag out the Carharts this year! Life is good!

Carlos on the River
The rafts we used in the Grand Canyon with Carlos waving greetings. If you click on the picture, you can get a look at the Sandra, one of the original boats that starting running the river with paying customers. That is a bit more dicey than our rafts. The Sandra capsized once and Carlos was actually swept out of it in one rapids.
Blast From The Past
This was taken in 1967 about a week after our wedding. The couple flanking my wife Patricia are Bill and Mary Holton, who were my 'intellectual' parents. I have always believed I had three sets of parents: biological, emotional and intellectual. You had to grow up in a small town rural environment to even begin to understand, but this is my story and I'm sticking to it!
