MY BARN AFTER THE BIG CLEANUP / MOVE IN / IN MISSOURI

Painting by Ruth Dobbs, 1976

That bad kitty




Antique metal candy box, inside of lid
Hobby horse, exactly like one I used to ride in the early '60s

Ruth has quite the collection of huge old lard cans; I managed to snag this one that lived in the barn already.
Sweet wooden compartment box, found buried amidst the barn junk; four feet long. I recovered a lot of wooden boxes and crates, even more than I currently need.
Ruth's older saddle
The nail, screw, and wire storage area
Round Oak brand woodstove, too heavy to move, so it's become a storage unit.


An extra horsey lying around makes a nice ceiling ornament.
That's the barn tour. More farm updates as the year wears on.
