Shockley's Old Timey Day

Not too far from our house a local man hosts "Old Timey Day" every year to show modern folk the ways of farming in years past and keep the old ways alive. There are many different teams of draft horses logging, plowing, harvesting, bailing hay, and doing all kinds of other things. In addition, local groups are there making apple butter, making soap, milling grain, and using their small engines to do all kinds of country folk things. We had a great time meeting the horses and watching them in action. Here's a little of our fun day.

Getting ready to plow

My two favorite country folk! (aren't they perfect?)

A muled helping to make cane juice for sorghum molasses (he came over and gave Miss Ella some sugar cane to chew on - which was quite yummy)

Petting one of the draft horses.

Bailing Hay

Playing in the hay! She really loved rolling around and being silly in the hay!

"Look, Mommy cows"

Taking a ride in the stagecoach

Just a couple of country girls (that is my sweet Grandpa McCluggage's hat by the way)

~What a view~

You got any hay???

A tuckered out country girl!!
