Easter with my little buddy........

alscalls · April 12, 2009, 10:27:36 PM

My nephew and I went out after dinner to show you folks a little about where he lives....
We talked and took picks and just had a nice day outside....
We thought you all would like to see this old tracktor.....

And his new pony Ruth....

And some firewood his dad is working on....... :shck:

And a little springtime nature....For you cold folks....

Then we checked to see how many new calves we could find.....Found 11 of em........The first one has a knee problem that Barry spoke of with his calve....

And lastly...My nephew is very proud of his old barn...lighting rods in tact........

We hope you enjoyed our day and where my little buddy lives.....we had a real nice time and found some turkey roosts too

Great pics Al. Firewood? We have no trees that big. The pony is cool and the barn is outragious. Nice calves and I'd say time well spent.

Nice looking barn. How much hay ya think has made its way to the top of that old girl?

Barry, the reason you dont have any trees that big is because Canada has been selling us lumber down here for ever.

Looks like a nice place to spend the day.

Glad you guys had fun.

That tree died this year from those moths......

those things are killing every oak in sight

I figure Ryan will see those picks 30 years from now and say ........What is that big thing I am standing next too?
you can see some of the damage in the second pic where the bark is falling off.

Jim, I have put a good bit of hay in that barn before and I tell ya.....it holds a lot! My brother in law is talking about fixing it all up this year......I hope he does, It's a dandy....Post an beam inside... but shes sinking.....lot of work replacing those posts

I believe that it was used at one time to drag logs to a saw mill way up on top of the ridge........

can you imagine that trip over and over all day long....
