Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Metal or the Season of Autumn
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Metal or the Season of Autumn.
Early last year, we had to get some old lead pipe replaced, and the tap had to go to keep costs down. Max, our now deceased blue heeler, was digging a hole to lay in during hot weather. His toenails scratched the worn lead. It only takes a pin-hole to get water everywhere!
The wire netting you can see above the gate is gone, too. Originally, it was put up to stop Max from climbing over the fence, and stop him from nibbling on kids, if they reached over the fence.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Harvest Season
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Earth or the Harvest Season
This is my dad during hay carting season – note the reinforcement patches mum has sewn on the fronts of his trousers to protect him from grass-seeds and chafing. Photo taken the very late 1950s.
This photo is also a very belated Family History Friday Post.
Dad is heating up a frypan over a small fire he has made in a roadside culvert. He was a great one for improvisation. I’m thinking that is a sauce bottle resting on top of the culvert, not a bottle of beer. It is probably the lunch time break, or even a late breakfast if the men began work at dawn to beat the heat.
In the background, on the other side of the road, is a paddock gleaming in the light. This could be a wheat or oat crop waiting to be harvested. Perhaps it is a paddock dotted with hay bales ready for being tossed on a truck by a gang of labourers.
