The invention of a horse drawn rake in the 1800’s made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect about 8 times a much as someone raking by hand. This lead to more hay gathered to feed the stock and more time to do other chores,before winter set in.

The Enloe-Floyd Barn is located at The Mountain Farm Museum on U.S. 441 adjacent to the National Park’s Oconaluftee Visitor Center, two miles north of Cherokee. The site is open year-round The barn is the only museum building original to the site. It was part of the Joseph Enloe farm. The Enloe house, built in the 1880s, stood on the site now occupied by the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. In 1917 the Enloes sold their farm to the Floyds, a neighboring family. When the museum opened, the barn was initially left on its original site, about 30 yards from the present-day Visitor Center. It was moved to its current location within the museum complex in 1960. Fifty feet wide and 60 feet long with a “shotgun” opening down the middle, the structure has several stalls and storage areas on each side of the long “hallway.” Upstairs there is a vast hayloft large enough to store a 2,500 square foot suburban home. Thought to be a “Drover’s barn” it is similar to the cantilevered barn in having a large, overhanging, frame loft for hay storage In this case, the loft is supported by log piers. This structure is much bigger than most barns, for it served as a “cattle hotel”, a place where farmers could stable their herds for a night as they drove them off the mountains to market

A hay rake drawn by horse came onto the scene in the 1800’s. This made the process of collecting hay much more efficient.

I own this bone sculpture. I do not know who made it, but it cost me dearly to obtain it. I just want to share it with you all.

For those not familiar with Portland, Oregon, the city’s Japanese Garden is one of the finest and most beautiful in the world. According to His Excellency Nobuo Matsunaga, Ambassador from Japan to the United States at the time when he visited Portland in 1988, he proclaimed the garden to be ‘the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside of Japan.’ Ten years later, His Excellency Ambassador Kunihiko Saito exclaimed over the beauty of the Garden and also agreed to its authenticity stating, ‘I believe this garden to be the most authentic Japanese garden, including those in Japan.’ “ The garden is comprised of 5 separate gardens. This shot was taken in the upper flat garden. It is a place of meditation and contemplation and is said to be a place of “pleasure—spiritual and temporal” as well as a site that denotes “happiness and hospitality” as well as “enlightenment”. I love the balance of the upper and lower images connected by the adjacent lines. To me, the dark centers represent an idea or action. The ripple effect is that which occurs from those thoughts or actions and the lines are what connect all of those thoughts, actions and their subsequent after effects together. My understanding of Japanese rock / sand garden design, however, is that they are not meant to have or convery one particular meaning, and so it is left open to each person’s own interpretation. Each time one sees it, he or she may have an entirely different response.

In the early days fodder to get the stock through the winter was usually hay. The whole process was done by hand in the earliest days later a horse draw hay rake like the one shown was used. The hay then was place by hand into stacks around a pole to help keep it from blowing away. By pressing the hay down as they started and latter by the weight of the hay, it would become fairly waterproof. This took a certain skill by the stackers. The hay would cure by the heat generated by the release of moisture in the hay and compression. A fence was then place around the stack to keep the stock out until it was time for them to feed on it….Image was taken on The Mountain Farm Museum, GSMNP. The barn seen is the Enloe-Floyd Barn, and is of the Shotgun style

A closer up shot of my curious friend, the grey kitty. He looked a tad upset when I told him to ‘get crackin’ and sweep up those leaves with the HDR red rake..;-) HDR and conventional images combined.

This may not look to be that comfortable to ride. It was a lot easier that raking hay by hand. This old horse drawn hay rake could rake bout what 8 men could do in a given time. That would leave a lot of time for other chores. More often then not, one of the younger kids would drive the rake, and the older kids and men would gather and put up the hay. This was pulled thru the field of cut hay. The tines would collect the hay. When they were full the lever would be pull releasing the hay in a pile. Then it would be gathered and taken to where they stored it. This may be crude by today’s standards but in its hay days this was a major improvement to putting up hay…….image taken at the Mountain Farm Museum at the Cherokee NC entrance to the Great smoky Mountain NP

This look into the past is preserved at the Mountain Farm Museum in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This park is different in many ways from a lot of the other National Parks in the US. It is one of the 1st to have the land bought soley form logging companies and individuals. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 familys were displaced in the early 1920’s and 30’s when they sold their land for the purpose of a National Park. The park service also desided they wanted to preserve the way of life of these early pioneers. Throughout the park old structures have been preserved. Here at the Mountain Farm Museum and at the Cades Cove Visitors Center are 2 places where a whole farm was preserved. The only building here that was originally here though, is the barn, the other structures were moved from various places in the park to here. Another note of the parks uniqueness is they is no charge for entering due to an agreement with the states of Tennessee and North Carolina

Bergenhus Fort, Bergen Norway Håkon’s Hall has taken its name from its first builder, King Håkon Håkonsson, and was erected between 1247 and 1261. In the latter year it was in use as “The Stone Hall” at the wedding and coronation of King Magnus Lagabøte (the Lawmender), Håkon’s son and co-ruler. The hall was the largest and most imposing building in the royal residence at “Holmen” (the holm), the political centre of the 13th-century Norwegian kingdom. It was obviously built for the great occasions in the history of the monarchy and the realm, but also for practical daily use. More National heritage site World Heritage site

I am sharing this image that my husband Wayne took many years ago that’s been scanned from a print. / In 1992 we had an incredible snow fall which left many sheep stranded in the high country and needed to be rescued. / In New Zealand it’s known as Snow Raking – combing the hills looking for stranded stock, freeing them and standing them up (when they lie down they get frozen in place), then stamping a track down to lower slopes where they can be fed. Since we are in our autumn/winter season I’ve uploaded this for interest.

Thankfully even through high winds and alot of rain, a tree in my daughters back yard stood with beautiful leaves still on its branches and a blanket of them on the ground, after tomorrow we are in for more high winds I am sure alot of these will be falling off like crazy.

I’ve had this idea for a poster for years but have never gotten around to creating it. I know it’s a bit obscure and I don’t really like explaining jokes but if you don’t get it, then go Here / and all will be revealed. As you’ll see, it’s really just a different take on the word ‘Rake’
