It only took a couple of seconds for my mind to process what I was looking at. At twenty something, I thought a large field of white cotton was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and it was sooooo southern!<br /><br />Webster... I've picked a piece or two and now I have a better understanding why picking cotton was so painful... back in the day. Those sharp prongs holding the cotton in makes mince meat outta your fingers!!Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058662679644806189.post-67190685648519165492011-11-07T16:20:19.033-06:002011-11-07T16:20:19.033-06:00When I lived in Ga. my wife small son and I went f...When I lived in Ga. my wife small son and I went for a fall drive. The fields something. I'd never seen it before. I stopped to check it out.

Some day, I'll get down that a-way.<br /><br />Also, I just read about your day. I hope he is a peace now - and that is a totally awesome family photo on the machine. What a lucky memory to have preserved.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and LifeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.com
