We've driven past this farm a couple of times lately and this drive-by photo was taken a few days ago. The corn has turned even more and will soon be ready for harvesting. I love the white fence posts, but wouldn't want the job of painting them!
This old fence was not too far from our house when we lived in the country on a mini-farm many years ago. That is my son petting the calf and the kitty watching is Coco, my favorite furkid during those years.
You might spot some extra legs in the photo above. There is a foal between Sugar, who is in front, and the mama in the back. I know we gave this young one a name, but I can't remember what it was. This is my daughter and son, who needs a haircut, feeding the little one. See the date in the corner of the photo? I love trips down country roads and also down memory lane!
I'm joining Theresa at Run*A*Round Ranch for Good Fences today. Stop by to see all kinds of fences and gates!
Happy Thursday to you!

I was going to say I recognize those knee high socks from the 80s. :) Cute kiddos and memory lane is a great place to visit!
ReplyDeleteso very, very cute! loved the knee socks!!! what a great era. :)
ReplyDeleteFun. I like to look back.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to show old photos for good fences! I love the socks, too. I raised 4 sons and remember the tube socks with the stripes! Fun photos! Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat great old pictures!! All the cows have come over to see...they are curious!
ReplyDeleteWonderful kid and beast photos! I love your trip down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, I love seeing old pictures. Your kids are adorable... Can you believe they are all grown up now???? When I think back to my kids when they were little---it's hard to imagine that time has flown by.... My My!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your big project is going well.
Hugs,

I bet the post in the Corn shot are metal so but they look great. Loved all those old photos. They were so fun and cute.
ReplyDeleteAw...great pics of the kids from yester year! Those shorts and knee socks were tell-tale signs of the times...lol! My kids wore 'em too!
ReplyDelete...first I must say I LOVE the buckskin horse!!! And yes I see the scythe! Looks menacing. I let my imagination get carried away sometime.
ReplyDeleteI really like the photo of your son and kitty best today...that one steals the show!
Yes, I have photos of my son in those same type of socks from the 80's. And those fences did not require painting!
ReplyDeleteLove the throw back to 1981!! My children were born in 78,80 and 83!
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable children. Love seeing the farm fence and hearing your stories.
ReplyDeleteYep, I would say that corn is ready. I think it is great that you are wandering down memory lane and seeing your children when they were young. It's good and heart warming remembering those times!!
ReplyDeleteWhat cuties you have and how lucky they were to be raised on a farm. I feel for kids who think milk comes from bottles and have never petted a cow.
ReplyDeleteAw w, there is nothing better as a fence than a good old farm fence. Bring back memories for me also. I loved the pictures and the kid ones.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
I love these shots, and this post is so timely for me. You see, I have both daughters home right now for Labor Day weekend, and they were teasing me about a recent photo that I posted of myself from the '70s and the length of my shorts. I shall show them this one to prove that that was just the way they came back then.
ReplyDeleteFun old pictures Cheryl! Sweet little kitty and friendly cattle! Love the top shot with the healthy corn this year but need RAIN!
