This old horse cart has been stored in this hangar down below our house ever since we've lived here. I don't know who it belongs to or if it's ever used. There was a second one along side for a while, but it disappeared a couple of years ago. There were also some barrels and other things in the shed that were cleaned out.

Ken posted a
picture of the way it used to look on his blog earlier this week. I took this picture just a few days ago. Callie and I walk by this shed just about every other day this time of year.

Do me a favor and check the shed again in case the horse is still there.
ReplyDeletem.
I like the blue-grey of the wall against the cart. :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure which is worse - a cart without a horse or a horse with no name - god bless America.

The shaft on the left side is broken off and that small part hanging down might be what is called a singletree in English. In the Dordogne, we sometimes see carts like this used as decoration in a garden. I think they used to be very commonly used on farms. This one is especially nice looking.

What a sweet, sad looking cart. It needs a horse!
ReplyDeleteNot about horses or carts. I discovered a website with a blog you might like since you are the breadmaker of the family: http://parisbread.com/index.htm
ReplyDeleteThe current post is about making yeast from raisins!
For your Parisian readers, they sell breads, soups, etc.
Thought I might see comments about the fixing of your weed wackier;), but your following is classier than that!
ReplyDeleteI bet it was fun to hitch up the horse and ride this wagon into town once upon a time.
Walt, you may have addressed this before, but do you and Ken speak French at home, or do you stick to English?
