Another, "funny you mention that". The old farmstead at the end of what was a dirt road, across the then swamp, now pond/small lake, from us was a typical small family farm with the farm house, huge hay barn, bank barn with the ramp on one side and stanchion stall dairy below and out on grade beyond the barn.
