19870624 - Climbing the silo

19870624 - I can remember climbing the silo as a kid. We would go up and you could see all over the farm. At one point it was the tallest structure in our township or county, something like that. When you would get to the top your arms felt like they were going to fall off and cars looked like matchbox size from up there. We did many things on top of that silo throughout the years: naps, experimental kitty parachutes, Christmas lights, beer drinking (not the smartest idea...). I am not sure who is in the photo, but pretty sure I am one of them.

19810618 - Transplanting a tree

19810618 - I think my Dad never heard of child labor laws... Here I am at 10 years old transplanting a tree. I use to drive the tractors and do all sorts of dangerous stuff I wouldn't dream of letting Dylan attempt; but I survived, sort of, only emotional scares ;-)
Today there is a very tall row of trees where I am planting the one in the photo and you can not even see the filed behind it.
