I have been having a sort out and came across this photo – that is my Dad, third from the left, aged about 10, circa 1931.

What a great find! And thank you to everyone for confirming what I suspected but couldn’t believe was a hay stack! 😳

Yes, Del, a haystack – I found a you tube clip to give an idea how they were made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0QJy5tajnY

I grew up in the country and never saw such a haystack. Impressive! I guess that’s the difference between being a child in the 1960s and a child in the 1930s.

Deserves a Maine “Wowsah,” don’t you think?

Fantastic photo. It is great to be able to see our parents enjoying their own childhoods so long ago and so different from those of our own children and grandchildren.

Luckily for us, being a farming family, my childhood, my children’s and 3 of my grandchildren are very similar in essence. I do love the feeling of continuity.

How wonderful, you don’t see Haystacks like that now. Great to find the photo, I don’t have many of my Family from that way back, they didn’t take so many photos then 😦 All the best Caryl

Isn’t it just. The original is tiny, I’m going to see how much I can enlarge it.
