Happy Farm Art Friday everyone:)
While my friends and I explored the Mulberry River Valley a few days ago, I noticed this old farm implement hidden in the trees at the edge of a field. Inside the boundaries of the Ozark National Forest, we were surrounded by natural beauty and true Arkansas history in a place largely unchanged by time. This hay rake looked at home, part of the landscape. I wondered if its original owner lay buried in the Yale Cemetery only steps away.
“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”
― Leo Tolstoy
Yes, let’s take some time this weekend to do what Tolstoy said… okay?
