Thx for sharing, nice to see the generations enjoying something like that, great story and the last pic really underscores the passing of time since then.

It is nice to have a project to do with the kids to promote memories BUT try to make it something that can be useful to you after their attention to it wanders. A nice cabin on or at least very near the ground would be better, easier to build and safer for the kids. It could be repurposed as a garden shed after the kids loose interest which I think would be pretty darned quick.

Haven't posted anything in awhile about life on the farm.
The Beekeeper:

Dad was a bee keeper, and for several years the county bee inspector.
Bee's were right at the end of our garden, got stung a lot. Like this one of Dad mowing in front of the hives with his bee hat on.

Thanks. I really should tell more story to the pics, but I was never one to do so.
There used to be an old road where the trees are, was kind of a low spot for years till we filled it in.
Locusts trees would grow on the sides of the ditch. Dad would pay us kids $1 a day to cut Little locusts trees with an axe. That ended after I sliced my thumb while sharpening an axe.

Just looked back, I told that story in post #2, along with the mowing pic. Guess I need to re read it myself.
