The bob sleigh is great to get them working together.

This was a nice winter project.

Flashback: Richard Brown with seeder & team

Years ago we used to go to Great Uncle Richard's farm near Action.
This photo is circa 1930.
But it does make one think of spring and working the land again.
I'm already reading seed catalogues and making lists.
