The time came when the old crumbly one lane road was to be widened.
To a two lane road with no lines, but wide shoulders and ditches.
To a two lane road with no lines, but wide shoulders and ditches.
This was BIG.
I think I mentioned in a previous blog how the pond came to be.
The state road people needed some fill for the new road
and asked The Old Farmer for it. Win Win!
Along the road in front of the orchard was a row
of old rough looking pines. They were taken out.
The Old Farmer's children went exploring along the destruction
and found a nest of baby owls had been upset from a hollow tree.
We were sorry for them.
But it was farm life, in those days nature fended for itself.
I was a young toddler so did not have the say to try and rescue them.
Perhaps the mother herded them to a safe place....
That is the end of that sad story.
