FUV

Another Acrimoto Fun Utility Vehicle (FUV) in Williamsburg.

Careful!

Be careful where you step! Those might be . . . mushrooms. Actually, living in a town where horse drawn carriages and oxen are as common a sight as cars and trucks, it pays to watch where you step anyway. And at first, I'll have to confess, I thought that's what these were--little love offerings from one of our friendly animals.

Heron

All was fairly quiet on the pond at Greensprings this past week. Just a lone heron on duty.

Hay Loader

I believe the people responsible for maintaining Greensprings have chosen to leave this old abandoned hay laoder here for educational purposes, to remind us of how this land was farmed in the early 1900s. That seems perfectly reasonable. Still, I think my preference would be to find some way to either restore this old relic, if that's even possible at the point, or simply to remove it altogether and thereby to return this area to its more "natural" state. 

Interesting piece, though. A now seriously deteriorated label indicates that it was manufactured by New Idea, Inc. in Coldwater, Ohio.
