Glad you enjoy the photos; we enjoy sharing them with everyone on the forum.
Using the "vintage" equipment on a hobby farm is not too bad; just have to remind myself that it's 50-70 years old.
Growing up in a rural community, folks identified parcels/tracts of land by the owner's name.
Most of the owner's names we refer to have been gone for 80-100 years.
To name just a few "places": Meadows, Hayes Johnson Store, Ma Coffey, Hunt, Ragan, Store, and Home.
At the appraisal district office, the county surveys still have the tracts in some of the "old timers" names.
One day I was mowing on the Hunt place where the old home fireplace hearth is still standing.
An older man drove up and parked his car in the shade of a cedar.
He got out and walked around looking at different spots; the old fireplace hearth, old well, and potato house.
I stopped mowing and went over to visit with him.
Turned out the Hunt's were his grandparents and he just wanted to see their "home place" one more time.
Very interesting stories he told of his grandparents and his memories as a child in their home during the 30's.
It's good that some of us are fortunate enough to be able to "tie" ourselves back to our family "roots" in a community; even if it's only with a piece of land we refer to as the "home" place.
