Real farms do not look pretty, or like the postcards from Vermont. Real farmers throw nothing away, they save old tractors and farm trucks for spare parts and emergencies. Halfway up Kinney Road, there is a beautiful old barn, it is always surrounded by venerable old farm trucks who have worked for years and piled up hundreds of thousands of miles.

Real farmers buy nothing new, and can use everything for one thing or another.  Here, at a rise on Kinney Road, I love the silhouette of these proud old farm trucks up against the barn and the sky. The trucks are the symbols of Kinney Road, of a time and place in my life, in the world.
