He Took In 12 Logging Mules Nobody Wanted — Until They Dragged the Timber Off the Old Orchard

He Took In 12 Logging Mules Nobody Wanted — Until They Dragged the Timber Off the Old Orchard The morning the mules arrived was a Tuesday, the nineteenth of October, 1988. I remember the date because the frost was so hard it looked like a layer of sugar spilled across the pastures, and the air had that particular clean ache to it that means the last of autumn is over and the cold is settling in for good. The sky was the color of old tin. #TheQuietFarmer #HeirloomCorn #SeedContest #CountyFair #OpenPollinated #OldFarmTales
