and start a new blog post. This was at 7:30 a.m. It is now after 8:00. I got wrapped up reading other blogs.
Anyhow, remember my little, "Old Motor Grader Road", museum? Well, even though the dirt path has been fixed and gravel spread...we still occasionally find old rusty farm pieces.
It's kind of like looking for arrowheads after a big rain. Bits and pieces keep coming to the surface.
Know what this is? Hope someone does...
Look how rusty! It has a loop on one end and is sharp on the other. Poppy spotted this sticking out of the dirt along the ditch.
You know what's funny about this new piece is that one evening on the Western, "Gunsmoke", Poppy saw a piece just like it hanging in an old barn. Mostly what I find are old rusty nails. :(
Oh and look at this...
It's barb wire. Very old, barb wire!
Here's a better look...
I can't even imagine how this must have looked at one time. Poppy says the wire must have been put up using a cedar tree as a post. The tree grew over the years, covering the wire, bringing it into the tree. Eventually the tree died and rotted away leaving just pieces like this. Can you imagine how many years that would have taken.
We both laughed and laughed...Poppy said, "when was barb wire invented"? "Have no idea", I said, "Google it and find out". Poppy asked, how do you spell bob wire anyway? Is it just like it sounds? b.o.b. w.i.r.e. ? Hey, I was at least 50 before someone corrected me. :)
Got the neatest gift from Andee and Todd for Mother's Day...
a cast iron pie pan! There are lots of wild blackberries growing along Henny Penny Lane this year. Can't you just picture it? :)
Caught Poppy loading trash on the truck...
and as he went out, told Smokey he needed to go outside for a while...
That's okay Mokey, I'm coming to let you back in. :)
Guess I had better get busy. Need to feed the bunnies. We have storms predicted for late afternoon. yuk! Be back soon.
Love, Henny
