The Hay barn

Uncle Franklin's barn...it had a tractor shed, and a cow stall. Uncle Franklin milked the cows, and he let us try...I wasn't any good at it. He also squirted us with the milk. Did we drink that milk? Did Aunt Imogene churn butter? But it had a huge hay storage area. You had to climb up to get to where the hay was stored, and it was deep and cavernous. I don't remember us playing in there, though it was a perfect spot for secret adventures. Terrells, why didn't we play in the hay bin?

I thought we played in the hay bin. But you could not play in the cotton trailers. You might suffocate, remember that?
Mother did churn butter. I really just remember Granny Terrell churning on our back porch, wonder why she was on our porch?, but Maddie (our maid) sold butter, she had the neatest molds for her butter, they had flowers on them!
