As seems to be my habit of late, I’ll probably throw a bunch of posts on here at the end of the year… life seems to get busier once your kids move out, for some reason! So as a sop until then, here’s a comparison of the farmhouse from 2001 and 2017.

Dad hasn’t smoked a pipe in decades, but when we found a box with his kit, I convinced him to replicate the old photo!
That’s the same Dad, same Sears Craftsman SS-12 garden tractor, and the (mostly) same cargo, separated by about 43 years or so. The SS-12 is 50 years old in the second photo (purchased in late 1966 or 1967, going from memory).
