wheels of Monterey, 14-year-old school bus

Saturdays at noon one of the 14-year-old students rides home from school in this cart, waiting here for a late rider.

wheels of Monterey, calf brigade

Every evening at 6 p.m. these wheels roll by with the water and feed for Raspberry, the teenage calf, who has moved back to our pasture. The little one-year-old always rides along with Pop.

horse gets ticket OR burn ban

What's the commotion about? It looks like a horse getting a ticket, but then I see the smoke. Soon a fire engine appears and it's the whole township drill, all to put out a trash fire which Davie, who rents my field, started. The burn ban is still in effect.

local locale: York museum

Among several museums, we chose the industrial one, featuring transportation. The station wagon was so named because it carried stuff to the train station--this one built in York in the year my Lehman grandparents were married--1906. Seems that York and tons of towns were bustling with early auto builders. Then cheaper factories appeared in Detroit and those jobs were "shipped" there. Hmm, sounds familiar. Midwest then, China now. Get it? Doesn't mean I like it. Seeing our local carriages every day makes me forget how elegant one can be.
