How about a Sunday afternoon buggy ride? Do you suppose he is going a courting?

I purchased this photo in the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.

Photo Number 616

This is a photo from 1967.  It must have been from the summer of 1967.

It is a combine, they are harvesting some kind of small grain.

I would be the kid in the truck looking at this scene waiting for my Mother to stop and motion me to come and load the truck.  At the end of the day, I would be hot and tired and itchy all over. I learned to drive a grain truck in the field when I was about ten years old.

These are both photos from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

A woman and her turkeys.

I wonder if anyone feeds barnyard turkeys like this anymore?

Photo Number 614

This must have been a traveling photographers work.   Three guys lined up, and one grabs the others cap.  I wonder what happened after the photo was taken?

I can tell it is an early 1900’s photo.  They all appear to be working men, the middle one is a farmer for sure.

This is a photo from the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

This is an unmarked photo, it could be a little boy and a friendly lamb just about anywhere.

I always enjoy a beautiful barn.  I bet the owner was very proud of this beauty.

This is a Real Photo Postcard from 1914 to 1917.

This is the Tobias Midbo Barn.   There are piles of something(Straw?) or hills in the background.  I wonder where this photo was taken? 

I will take a wild guess and guess some place out east like Vermont. Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

Update from Iggy:
I think this is Tobias O. Midboe (Aug, 1878-1961) and his wife Margit Sondreal (1891-Unknown) married June 23, 1915, living in Newburgh, Steele, North Dakota.

Update:
This photo went  Full Circle 34 on November 21, 2011.

I will guess that this is a Jersey Bull and it was a prize possession.

( That is only a guess..we used to have a Jersey milk cow..she was gentle and of smaller stature than some cows.)

I enjoyed looking around in this barnyard, a wagon with different wheels, trees in the background and wildflowers or flowering weeds in the pasture.  I will guess that is a feed bucket, and there was feed in it to help catch the bull for a photo.
