Description


When our family moved back to Kansas to my maternal grandmother's farm, it was like moving to an alien planet for my twin brother, Steve, and me. We went from an indoor bathroom to an outside privy, from running water from a tap to being tapped to run a bucket of water from the windmill pump to the kitchen. Where there had been trees and forests, there was only grass and some scrubby looking trees around the farm buildings. Elm, mullberry, Chinese elms, some scruffy cedars. However, there were some compensations. There was a lot of rusting machinery parked out behind the buidlings. One of these pieces of junk was the remains of my Grandpa Comfort's favorite car, a 1910 or 12 Ford Model T touring car. He liked it so much that he named his last-born son, Ford. (Yes, my uncle Ford, who was the Chevy guy.) Well, it might have once been Grandpa's favorite car, but now it was our favorite piece of junk. We would play in it for hours, pretending it was a car taking us out West to the mountains, or perhaps back to Michigan. Sometimes, it was our covered wagon or our spaceship, or perhaps an airplane or tank--whatever we wanted it to be. It was our chariot of dreams that took us away to the places of our imaginations. ************* Credits: Everything except the tractor and car were modeled by me in Bryce 5. Tractor: an old John Deere model from Sams 3D, which I modified slightly and retextured to look more like the FarmAll that we actually had. The model T was originally a very nice model of a Ford Model T touring car that I got from the Net, but right now I do not remember where or who made it. My apologies to whoever it was. I stripped it down and "rusticated" it look fairly close to the condition of Grandpa's Ford Model T as I remember it. The weeds were modeled by traveler (RDNA). Thanks for looking and for any comments, Jeremy

This is a wonderful and enchanting memory. I grew up in farm country, though not on a farm, and hung around one a few miles from our house. They let me keep two chickens there and later on I got a horse. We used to ride the shetland ponies down the creek to the swimming hole. We'd catch tadpoles and put them in jars and climb trees. I feel like I had a blessed childhood...thanks for reminding me :)
