Hay Raker

The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God; but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other.
~ William Penn

Today, the subject of my contemplation was this contraption that was sitting idly at the end of a neighboring lane. 
Now, I am no farming expert, but I would have to guess that this is the hay raker that the young Amish man that I saw yesterday was using to wrangle the hay into those lovely long parallel lines that I shared in yesterday's Blip.
