Description


Besides my normal work, I help out elderly ladies with house cleaning. This one lady has this harrow that she brought over from Idaho when she moved here about 10 years ago. After I had scrubbed her kitchen floors (she had hip-replacement surgery and can't quite get to the floor to scrub it), I went outside with my camera and took several pictures of this harrow. Part of me wants to restore this to its original, working condition, while the other part wants to leave it as is. I hope that you will enjoy this bit of the past as much as I do. Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my last upload, 'Blinded Anguish'. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Tuesday Mike

Oh Mike - what a beautiful piece of 'ancient" art. I think you should leave it as is! And what wonderful work you are doing helping folks who cannot do chores that we take for granted! Hugsies, Carin :)
