I can't say that growing up on the farm was super tough. I mean, I had my share of walking beans & Milo, cleaning out pig sheds, picking & snapping beans from the garden, hanging several hundreds of loads of laundry on the line, doing dishes with no dishwasher for 7-10 people per meal twice a day, etc. Yet, can't say I ever had it this bad:
I am pretty sure this kind of treatment on the farm has been going on for years since I found this picture of my brother Abram doing almost the same thing but from a tree. Grandpa Strahm gets some thrill out of doing this to his little guys, not sure why.
You gotta love these pictures!!!

I do love these pics! I could just stare at that one of Hutch for hours!
Yes! I love this! Katy
When I looked at that picture it reminded me of a time many years ago when your dad hung Matt - or Abram up like that on a tree in our front yard. Then I saw that picture- and I think that is it. Can it be? It looks like our old house in the background. Funny!! We had a hook in the tree for the volleyball net and it was "just right" for "kid hangin'"
Yes Leslie, that`s Abram hangin' in a cedar tree in your front yard years ago. As to why I like to hang my boys in trees and on posts, I can only reply as Jim Wetzel would, "I just don`t know, I just don`t know". Perhaps I should see a counselor for this!! Don`t it make a cute picture, though!!!!
