This is either a sentence or at least three people's initial. Any help from viewers is appreciated. It's an Allen County plate and we've spot it in Bluffton frequently.
James Bertsche of Goshen, Indiana, sent the following account of threshing day as he remembers it on the Bertsche farm in Bluffton. The farm stands on the southeast corner of State Route 103 and County Line Road. His recollection is based on what he remembers as a 4-year-old, watching.
Here's his account:
Threshing day at the Bertsche farm was a biggie. I would stand under a walnut tree along the gravel road past the farm watching down the road to the south for the rig to come into view . .wide, high steel wheels crunching the gravel, black smoke flying.
Here's the situation. You have two great photos of a 21-month-old girl tugging at the reins of her pet llama as she and her grandfather stroll down Main Street. Not a scene you see everyday. Problem is, you can't decide which photo you like the best.
One shot is from the front. It shows facial expressions and the action moves toward you. The other shot is from the back. No faces in view. The subjects could represent anyone...you and your own granddaughter, or your neighbor's, for example. The action passes you by and heads into the distance.
