Gosh! that's a 'blast from the past' Reminds me of the pump in Mrs Step-Out-And-Fetch-It's garden on the mountain road between two valleys ... but that'll be in my next autobiographical story ... A lovely reminder of times past, my dear Susan. Hugs, Mike

Nice picture, brings old times to my mind, too. We had an outhouse and water was brought in from a nature's well 1 mile away from home. I can almost hear the sound of that pump in operation

If I was born after these antiques were no longer used, does that mean I'm not old and an antique? LOL

Get in a little closer if the background is not interesting and I bet there are some intersting textures there

I wish I had one of those now. I remember when my Aunt had one over her kitchen sink. I loved the sound it made, and the feeling just before the water began to flow. A sweet memory
