With nighttime temperatures dipping down into the mid-thirties - it is definitely time to put the garden tools away until next spring. I have had several decades of use from this old rake, and it is indestructible. Today's modern tools can't begin to compare in quality. I wish our country had the same pride in craftmanship today - as we had less than a century ago.
Early hay rake that would have been pulled by a tractor is put out to pasture, so to speak, to become a symbol of bygone days. This rake was photographed near Duncan BC Canada.
A hay rake may be mechanized, drawn by a tractor or draft animals, or it may be a hand tool. The earliest hay rakes were nothing more than tree branches, but wooden hand rakes with wooden teeth, similar in design to a garden rake but larger, were prevalent in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and still are used in some locations around the world.
This is a dump rake, used for making hay. The horses would pull it until the rake was full of grass, then the driver of the horses would lift it to "dump" the hay. The goal was to have all the dumps lined up in a straight line, so when they picked it up it was easy.
Another of my old wanderings took me to the back roads southwest of Longmont. This rake appears to be more lawn art than farm implement. A rambling rake no more! ...And it is not used up yet! It was not made of Chinese plastic.
Some of my captures need a load of editing, not so much here, as I am deluged with retouching in my directories. I expect to post more as I get past my immersion in most of the mass of current projects like starting on the quasi-logical Win-10 that needs another upgrade and a heap of cleanup afterward.
The Ag Museum was open to get to the McIntosh Lake Loop Trail. Hmm, I just might try it on the remaining day. I can't simply just hang around the Museum, I am already crammed with MAC snaps. I have some neighbors who do nothing more than hang around, I have places to go. Perhaps a small degree of exercise? I can only stand sitting behind the monitor for a small while.

When we got the door unlocked to the storage room under the stairs that lead up to the loft above the garage we discovered some old garden tools inside. This old rake has seen better days.
