Horse hay-rakes gather the hay preparatory to its removal from the meadows. It is arranged with a sulky, so that the operator can ride. The spring-teeth gather the hay and retain it until the driver, by pulling the vertical lever, lifts the teeth and discharges it. The horizontal bars projecting through the teeth keep the hay from rising with them, thus insuring its complete discharge.

Rakes Mill Pond Dam
Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 163.0
The pond was formed when a miller, Jarman Rakes, built a dam for his grist mill. Rakes was something of a marketing genius — he allowed his customers to fist for brook trout while waiting for their grist. A gristmill or grist mill is a building in which grain is ground into flour, or the grinding mechanism itself. In many countries these are referred to as corn mills or flour mills.
Decided to grab some shots of the car after bringing the front down some more and also since it was all cleaned up from yesterday's show.
Kel and I spent a few hours in the Market Porter, talking to an older couple. When Kel & I were ready to think about heading back to the hotel for a breather before dinner, they convinced us that we had to try a particular beer at the Rake before we went. The beer was no longer on tap, but we managed to spend another hour or so drinking and chatting...

PLEASE COMMENT.
this is our 80's themed photoshoot.
Yay its my Birthday on the 5th (may!)
Hoping to get photoshop!!! (:
These photos go in that category of “snapped just because they were there and I had a camera in my hand.”
Another category might be “it can’t be lemons or flowers.” Or sheep, or Hawaiian green sea turtles which aren't really green.

Since John got a hat, Erin decided she wanted a scarf. Well, I tried to do it as a double sided knit on the Bond (left sample - aka 1x1 Rib), but didn't like how it was turning out, so started over on the double sided rake. Erin is liking how it is turning out.
It's really not enough to grab the first or cheapest tool you see. I went through a few small hand spades until I decided to splurge for the all metal one seen here, and it has taken abuse that would have destroyed lesser tools. The hoe, likewise, was purchased after a couple of frustrating years spent with one with a wooden handle out of which the implement was constantly falling until the handle failed and broke (the hand spade is propped up on what's left of it). The model I selected as its replacement has a metal handle with the working end attached via rivets. The shovel was picked for the same reason. I hardly ever use a garden rake, and then only for light duty, so hopefully its wooden handle will not be a liability. And besides, it was only four dollars, and aren't rules made for breaking anyway?
Some photos left from this year's blueberry harvest. The last 20+ years has seen an influx of foreign migrant workers amongst the regular seasonal workers from Maine. The bulk of the immigrant workers had been from Mexico, Guatemala and other parts of Central America. Some of those workers are now here year round. The last few years there have been a large number of Haitians and possibly Jamacains working the fields. Some of these people have
stayed on to work in the wreathing industry, making Christmas wreathes which is another huge seasonal labor industry in Maine.
