John with tobacco sticks. Maybe 1977 or 78. Probably our first crop. . . The tobacco has been jammed onto the sticks and will be left a day or so to wilt and be easier to take to the barn for drying.
Summer of '75 or '76. Our mentor, Clifford Freeman on Nell (34 years old) with Ethan and his cousin Andrew. (3 or 4)
The boys had their own horses.
And sometimes they went hiking.
(Is that a book under Ethan's arm?
He was reading at 2 and a half.)

I'm so glad you shared these old photos...they are really wonderful looking, the happy boys, the tobacco harvesting, and that poor old horse!
I peek into your inspiration for your novels set in your neck of the woods.
I love these photos, and I'm sure your grandchildren will enjoy them.
