Maple Leaf Farms (Kern County, California), sometime in the early 1950s. As I recall, the potato plants were sprayed with some chemical to kill the foliage. The potatoes were planted on ridges. The blade of the digger traveled several inches below the surface of the ridges (the man standing on the digger could adjust the depth to get lots of potatoes without slicing through many). The dirt (with the potatoes) was lifted up and moved over a surface that let dirt drop through and then dropped the potatoes and vines off the back on top of the dirt.
The potatoes dug on the previous pass through the field are already gathered in sacks (at left) and the picker at right is ready to go to work on the new pass as soon as the digger is out of the way.
An excavator, a bulldozer and large haulage trucks are seen at work on a West Virginia surface coal mine.
We have been taking the dogs up to the wild end of Tilgate park for walkies.
Here are some shots from today's walk.
More than a foot of snow fell while we were at the cabin. The road is not maintained in the winter, so we were thankful for the powder.
Even though the tree had blown down over the winter, this Great Spotted Woodpecker was still going to create a nest hole. One to keep an eye on, if this is a nest site.

Our time here is over
baby we're done
this fussin and fightin
ain't in any way fun..
I'm going back Home
to to the old home stead..
got 2 good hands
& baby I ain't dead..
Gonna take that old house
and bring it back to life...
this life i'm livin's
cutting me like a knife....
Want to get back to growing
my own food to eat...
county road living
beats any city street..
Just like the Waltons Baby
we can survive...
that old homestead
can keep us alive...
theres a fireplace
and a big old spring...
all the water we can use
and it won't cost a thing...
i'll buy some chickens
and old milk cow...
I'm fixing up that old homestead
and doing it right now..
say what ya want
do what ya will
but this is the plan Honey
this is the deal...
I'm going back to the country
and doing my own thing...
where I'm on my own
and the phones don't ring..
stay if you want baby
that's up to you
we all gotta do
what we gotta do...
the windows open
and it's mine to take
staying here i'm digging
my own grave.....
repeat chorus...
all lyrics posted by me was writen by me..connetta jean...
