Remember the Blue porcelin cup hanging on the barn next to the hand pump. Nothin ever tasted colder and better than the cold water that came out of that pump after walking behind a hay bailer pitchin #60 bales onto the wagon in the heat all afternoon.

Ever pick up a bale that had a po'ed snake hanging outa it? My Grandmother in Morgantown had a tin cup. Jeeze the mention of that takes me back 40 years, and I can just almost taste that water. Thanks for that one, Dave.

Thumbs up

My pleasure Fred. My best memories are from my uncle's farm. Never knew a more peaceful place in my life. When i was 15 our Babe Ruth League team was state champs and went all over the country to play. I chose to work on the farm that summer rather than go, they thought i was crazy, never regretted it.
Yeah, the black snakes would be half way stickin outa the bales either with or without heads. Coolest thing was when you made the last cut of alfafa with the mowing machine, the quail would fly up in front of ya the whole distance. No way you can ever go back to those great times.

You are right, it is a shame most children in America no longer have the opportunity to drink cold well water or drink from a spring creek....

When we were kids, we spent the summer runnning through the woods and when we got hot we went for a dip in Misquitohawk Brook clothes and all...........
