COUNTRY ESTATE AUCTION
Well hells bells I struck gold in Kansas! This was an all day affar: 3 generations of family selling their farm estate and all the goodies inside. Pictured above is one of at least 24 tables covered with treasures of lives past. The Auctioneer has the microphone and the party gets started!
This lovely gentleman is a regular treasure hunter and local farmer in town who had his eyes set on the vintage accordion. After discussing in great depth with his pal on the value he got down to some serious bidding business.

Considering you a common flower,
Knows not you were the golden seal
Upon the spring’s first hour”

POPPIES AND RUNNER ROOTS
Some of the flowers and food in this garden have gone to seed or root year after year since the 1930’s. Every plant and tree holds it’s own story; a rose planted by my great grandmother, fruit trees cared for by aunts and uncles, an asparagus patch tended by 4 generations of women…

HELLO OUT THERE
In the heart of the Great Plains and on the edge of town, USA. This farm has been in my family for 3 generations. When my great great grandparents first moved in around 1935 the daily business grew out of milking cows for the milk and cream to vast wheat farming, raising watermelons, cotton and entertaining a horse race track on a portion of the property with bets and picnics on their days off. In the early 1920’s ‘barnstormers’ arrived on the scene. Selling tickets for a short flight in a war plane, this property even found room for a temporary airstrip.
In this picture you can see the house, equipment shed (‘the big roudtop’) small grain silo, livestock corral, chicken coup, vegetable garden and in the front right corner…the milk barn.
Today my grandparents maintain hobbies, general upkeep and gardening, however the land cannot be farmed for the next 10 years. In an effort to keep ‘blowsand’ at bay, the government requires certain plots to have a period of ‘no disturbance’ whereby natural grasses have a chance to take root.
