In this colorful image we can almost hear the whir
and roar of the old threshing
rig, feel the intensity of the crew straining to feed the machine's
voracious
appetite, and wonder at the fast growing mountain of golden straw. "As a
young
boy I watched such scenes in awe," the artist comments, "and noticed that
the
dust and chaff could be so thick that it almost obscured the sun! This
image is
also something of a self-portrait because I am the boy pulling the lunch
wagon."
Notice that the kids have more in mind than a day filled with farm chores.
Soon
they will be off to a nearby lake, pulling the gearladen wagon appropriately
named,
"Terry's Fishing Rig."
