Here’s the rest of the gear the “barn-mucker” needs to muck out the barn. Rubber boots (some of them come insulated), a coat if it’s cold, and a hat to keep the sweat off your brow. It’s a dirty job but somebody’s gotta do it.

Looks like Sacks of grain to feed the stock. Probably oats or sweet mix for the horses, corn for the sheep and blends for the pigs. Our little friend here is the last thing anyone wants to see in their granary. Mice can eat a lot of grain.

Here is Tuna. She likes to come out in the afternoons and sit on this bench. The sun shines on her pretty coat and she gives herself a little bath. Of course, this little bath takes an hour.

When I was a girl it was the hardware store we went to for everything. Actually, it was under different ownership but it was the hardware store where we bought everything to build our house in the late ’80s.
