Once upon a time where N 1250 road
runs south of Mary's lake and ends at E 1750 there was a cattle chute
that was put together or patched with a number of rusty bed springs
from before the day when box springs were in-closed with cloth. (You
know you are old when you can remember as a kid reaching over the
side of the bed and catching your fingers in unprotected springs!)
The chute has now disappeared, but there is a sketch of that “Sprung
Chute” around here somewhere.
This old unused corral enclosing the
weathered wood feeder is of a similar vintage and style, but has
survived 'till today. And about a mile as the crow flies from that
old chute... This drawing was done this week, after far too long a
sabbatical from pencil and paper.
