A hay stacking operation typical of the early 1900s, when horsepower was used to move hay from the field, and to hoist bundles to the top of a hay stack. A derrick outfitted with ropes and pulleys enabled workers to raise large stacks. Considerable skill was required to build a stack that would shed rain without falling apart.
I found this post card in a junk shop in Nant, France. The caption means
"From the trench. My darlings, from the bottom of the trench I picture your heads bending over me".
On the back it's dated 10 October 1915.

This is another home where location and date are not known. This is a real photo post card probably before 1920, a way to let friends and family in other places know what sort of home one had. This Queen Anne is somewhat picturesque in the snow. It has a very steep roof and a fascinating roof-line as indicated by the glimpse of the roof on the left; a large interior chimney is toward the front of the house. Many elements are massed in the front façade. A dormer with windows is located over the entry porch; a balustrade is in front of these windows. A prominent front gable with returns is on the left with a decorated bargeboard. The windows in the gable appear to be hooded, possibly a support for the ornamental woodwork above it. The door is not shown clearly; a curious single rectangular window is to the right of the door. The entrance to the porch has a spandrel frieze. The porch, with what seems to be turned balusters, is wraparound, passing a prominent rectangular bay at the corner of the front façade. There’s so much in this structure that is not visible, and I surely wish it were.

... definitely a doodle - I've no idea what's coming next! I'm just taking a coffee break, then I'll pick it up again ...
It's for a friend at Easter.

a circa-1910 post card view of Lynchburg's first hospital on record, the private St. Andrews Hospital at 917 Court Street. As the previously-posted aerial view reveals, the hospital was significantly expanded by the year 1923 (another section was constructed to the west, on the courthouse side). Today, the Lynchburg City Schools Administration Building is situated on this site. (post card courtesy of Sandra Weigand)

This Klamath County courthouse was completed in 1920, but not occupied by county officials until 1922 due to a dispute over which of two new buildings would become the official courthouse. This building was damaged beyond repair by a series of earthquakes in 1993, and was demolished in August 1997. The wooden WWII monument at left was constructed in 1943. Names of Klamath County men who died in service were placed on the monument. It was replaced in 1954 by a stone mansonry monument that still stands at the site.

probably from the early 1900s - this post card was never sent.
That headdress (with the little black hat) was a regional tradition from the Haute Loire. Love her shawl, her hands that have done plenty of hard work and her lace pillow - very traditional from the area and that she has 2 different shapes of bobbin there.
Unfortunately the piece of lace on the pillow moved and is a blur but I'm guessing it would've been 'Cluny'

On the Back:
STEET SCRUBBING - In Holland, Michigan, at "Tulip Time" in mid May, young and old alike dress in their native Dutch costumes to participate in the ritual of scrubbing the streets. Dutch dances, parades, windmills, tulips and traditional Dutch hospitality, creates one of the country's outstanding Springtime events.
I looked them up on the internet, and this festival still takes place. www.tuliptime.com/
According to their schedule of events, unfortunately it doesn't look like street scrubbing still occurs, but you can see Tulipalooza, Wooden Shoo-be-doo, Klompen Dancers, Bobby Vinton and the Oak Ridge Boys.
