Journaling: Down on the farm, the year is 1945, oh no, I digress . . . is it really 2014 already?
During haying season, around the 4th of July, the kids go to the Hurtubise farm near North Bay, Canada to help Grandpa Hurtubise get the machinery in order and bale hay. Each year the kids look forward to driving the Gator, the trucks, tractors, helping with the hay, camping out, getting buckets ready for the next season at the sugar shack and other chores.
The kids have fun working with all of the different machinery. Besides the new tractors etc, there are a number of antique implements that they get to discover and work with. Gabrielle is demonstrating one of the older cultivators here. When I was a child my Dad used a similar cultivator to work the garden instead of the power driven farm machinery. In my lifetime we did not use horse driven implements.
OM goodness. This is just outstanding. Not only the beautiful photo and treatment (gorgeous blending), but the story. Yes. Those were the days, in SO many ways.
 
Wonderful page! Love the blending and photo! Can't imagine plowing the field with that! Great journaling, also!
 
What a fabulous documentation of such a special occurrence! Love your brickwork--perfect for the theme of the page.
 
adore this, but especially the photo treatment and journaling. love the mixture of elements and textures that add to the old time vibe.
 
Wonderful layout! I love the photo treatment and the journaling - this is really great!
