This photo was taken by a barnstormer in 1953.. It was black and white, but they came around and asked
how we wanted it colorized, and what junk we wanted painted over. It looks very vacant. Later in the
year we had a close call with a chimney fire. My mother served my birthday cake to the neighbor fire fighters.
Dad saved the day by pouring sacks of cattle salt down the chimney to snuff it out. Some wall paper was burned inside
the house. We moved off the place in 1956. My Dad had a herd of polled Herefords.
You can see the 32 volt wind-charger. The wood piles. The pig pens and houses. Several grain bins. The milk cow
and horse barn lower story was made of logs. The small "pond" in the background was called a "dug-out". My parents
taught me to skate by letting me hang onto a fencepost between them.
