In the last three days, we have lined up 75 cars in the pasture. There are approximately 50 more to go before we are ready for even the first auction of the estate. These are just the cars that sat outside, there are many good ones that are inside, most of which we won't move out until the auction, especially the convertibles. Not counting all the tractors, farm machinery, household items, etc. etc. Sometimes it all seems overwhelming and we will never get done!
I heard a rumor once, many years ago, that one of my ancestors on this farm had acquired part of the local gristmill. I found this hidden in a bunch of brush and was wondering if maybe this was it, but I do not know. Once upon a time there was a steam engine on the farm too, but I don't think this would have been part of that. The large gear is about 3 feet in diameter or so.
