Let’s see what Grandpa had to say about life in 1903 June 9. First I need to go to the draw and remove the diary from it’s protective bag. — “Moses Lohr helped to make props in forenoon.  Took logs to Hillsboro in afternoon” Sure wish I had pictures — no tractor, chain saws, or trucks you know.  Just teams of horses and hand saws. We must create a mental photo to get the feeling of these tasks in a day in the life of a Pennsylvania homesteader in 1903. So create in your mind the 1903 photo.

Because our feelings of the moment are established by input to our senses — sight being a very strong one  — here are a few 2013 photos with my feelings (thoughts) — what do they say to you?

"Evening"

It says “Good Evening”

It says "Good Morning"

It says “Good Morning”    (From same position as Good Evening shot)

That is my story this morning — off to mow lawn, have lunch, go for trail ride.  Maybe I capture photos on my iPhone to see if we can come up with more captions.adios
