Oh, and another thing I like to do - well actually my wife loves to instruct me to do - is the garden!! Just thought I would (she asked me nicely) to rake up fallen petals and flowers from the last couple of days downpour of rain!

A hay rake is an agricultural rake used to collect cut hay or straw into windrows for later collection (e.g. by a baler or a loader wagon).

Black 5 5231 with a rake of ex-BR Mk1 carriages, at Loughborough station, during the early days of preservation at the 'Main Line Steam Trust' - later the 'Great Central Railway'..
This loco had hauled the official 'first train' when the line was first re-opened. and today, is in BR lined black - as 45321 - and named ''The Sherwood Forester'', and based at Carnforth, operating on steam specials on UK mainline tracks..
Restored from a badly out-of-focus, speckled, very grainy original..

There are a few items that belonged to my grandparents that I have kept and used regularly. This rake is one of those things. I love this old metal rake, with its old wooden handle, and I prefer it to any newer rake that is stored in my garage. So I am giving this its own portrait.

Rakes Mill Pond is a dammed up pond and adjacent swamp located on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. A mill built in the early 19th century once stood here. It was the brainchild of Jarman Rakes who promoted business by stocking his pond with trout and letting customers fish it while he ground their wheat.

If you wonder why all those wires and loudspeakers: those rakes had microphones attached to them, so that each scratch made on different surfaces, got amplified and played through the loudspeakers. They also had other sound-producing gadgets all over their bodies, so even when they threw away the rakes, they squeaked, barked, grunted, oinked and whatnot, with every move. :-)

Working the second train of the day out of Sherringham 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' with a good six coach rake behind and the sun beating down heads through the fields just to the west of Sheringham
Photographed during an early evening photo outing with my friend Dale on October 6, 2011. We explored some countryside between Dexter and Chelsea, Michigan.
By good luck, we happened upon this field of freshly cut hay, which was being raked and baled at the time. Very close to the end of the day, there was barely enough light remaining for a good photo.

An old, abandoned hay rake, looks kind of like it's been trying to help with my shelter-in-place hair.
