Flashback: We don't get snow like they used to.

Here is my mother and my grandfather's car near their farm.
I remember going there as a boy when the snow was as high as the roof of our car.

Jack on the harrows


Trying to keep Jack in shape on the harrows,
so he can pull the sleigh on Valentine's Day.

Flashback: 1957 Southampton


Then I had time to try sketching.
With Medicine & the farm, I haven't had the time.
But I always have the camera handy, and I hope it shows on this blog.

This is "Teddy" or Ayton's Final Footprint at the "Royal".
He was a magnificent horse.

Flashback: Circa 1930


My mother riding on the back of a horse. I didn't know she ever did.
Notice my grandfather's 1928 McLaughlin-Buick in the background.
Thanks Paul for sending this photo along.

Pickled eggs
