Pulling power

We spent the day at the Berryville steam show: antique tractors and engines, junk sellers, and a mule jump and mule pull competition.  Add to that a favorite small, local creamery selling ice cream on site, and the day was pretty much complete!

(It will surprise no one who knows me that i took more pictures of mules than of machinery.)

And though going on Sunday meant that a few of the machines had already been loaded up and hauled home, it also meant that at least a few of the vendors were motivated by the desire to avoid packing up more stock than they had to, so i got a bag of  interesting vintage goodies for a very paltry sum.
