The following was written by my father, Lawrence L. Weeks Sr. in 2006:
After plowing, it’s time to pick the rocks and put them in the dump cart to haul to a rock pile or to patch a low spot in a stone wall. This is what Father and his grandson, Chester Chapman are doing while being watched by “Major” a cross bred German Shepherd and Airedale. That dog was with me all the time that I was outdoors from when I was one year old until the year before I married. We could “sic” him on to anything, man or beast. He was the only dog I knew that could kill a hedgehog.
The garden would have to be fertilized by backing the dump cart under the barn and filling it up with manure and spreading it on the garden by hand with a dung fork.
