Hay Into the Barn
Image
A man stands on top of a full hay wagon parked in front of the closed door of a red barn. Above the man a grappling hook full of hay can be seen through the open door to the hayloft. A green tractor pulling the wagon is on the left. A dog and cat face each other in the barnyard. A silo and other farm buildings are in the background on the left and right.The following is a recollection from the creator. "Hay into the Barn. By June the hay was ready for its first cutting. The smell of freshly cut clover would spread over the fields as bees buzzed about gathering pollen. As the hay was cut, it would fall into neat rows behind the mower. Sometimes this ended tragically when the harsh mower cut off the legs of a young rabbit. After allowing the hay to lie in the fields for a day or two to dry, we would stack the wagon high with hay. Inevitably, some of it would drop from the hay loader as it was drawn behind the wagon across the fields. After pulling the wagon to the barn, we unloaded the hay into the mow."
1945
