Putting hay in the barn

The year must have been around 1975. I used to ride my bicycle out to Uncle Floyd's place from Belleville, I was too young to drive.

I would work up in the mow, stacking bales. But they seemed to come faster and faster, with Uncle Floyd taking them from the wagon outside, and laying them on the elevator that brought them up and into the mow.

I can still picture Uncle Floyd, returning from the field with yet another full load.

To this day, I am still amazed at how fast he could load them onto that elevator.

RIP Uncle Floyd.
