Sure, folks! Before there were Automobiles and Trucks, the Horse took care of everything!

There should be no surprises at these pictures...they were everyday scenes!

I'm thinking to myself, what do they do with that much honey? Turns out a honey wagon is a sewage collection wagon. You learn something new every day on the internet.

Wren, we have a canal like that near us. They still give boat rides mainly to the school kids to show them what life was like at one time. My son's woodworking shop which he rents is right on the canal. They used his building for supplies and to store grain. I love all these photos.

"The satsuma became a favorite fruit in the early 1920s and after years of popularity, it became
cause for celebration. The first Satsuma Blossom Festival was held in Mobile in 1926. After that, the
satsumas were hit by frost and inclement weather, and the festival faded. The tasty satsumas continued to be grown here and cherished as a treat, but they no longer drew crowds for parades and ceremonies".

Thanks, I learned something today!

I had never heard of a satsuma fruit.
