I thought it was a corn crib with some weird painted scheme. Being from Iowa we don't have tobacco sheds but lots and lots of vacant corn cribs.

Nope, definitely a tobacco shed.

I've seen a LOT of those in Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Heh, The project I'm working on is smack dab in the middle of a crapload of tobacco fields. Yesterday I found a stray leaf and it's hanging to dry in my truck right now.
You KNOW I have to try it. Tongue

I remember when I was a little girl, my aunt had a nice potted plant in the window of her dining room and my father looking at it and choking on his coffee and asking her if she had any idea what it was. She didn't. She found it by their cottage and thought it was really pretty and brought it home.

I see your local witches traded in their brooms for horses.

Barbara,

   When I was in Junior High, my Grandma and her fairly new husband, went to Hawaii for a few weeks, and of course she brought back gifts for everyone.  I got a T-shirt.  I didn't look at it at first, because she also brought macadamia nuts, bu after they left I held it up.  At the top it said "KONA GOLD", and elsewhere it things like "Hawaii's Finest" and "100% PURE".  There was a large, jagged green leaf at the center.  My mom and I looked at that shirt and said "Is THAT what I think it is??"

It was.  Grandma was mortified.  Of course she'd had no idea what it was, and she implored me not to wear it.


I wore it until it was a rag.  cheesy

As some know I shot at a lot  at we call "cow pasture" or  "ranch fields".  Just out in the middle of nowhere , where we had Skeet Fields , handgun and fifle ranges.  We also hunted the properties.

Also known is the fact some bulls did not like me and it was sport for them to chase me.  In my prime, they should of had an Olympic Event for going over, under or thru various fences - including barbed wire, because I would have taken the Gold Medal.

Got to be a running joke [Pun intended, the folks razzing me meant for it to be].

Yellow signs started showing up here and there, with a Bull chasing a lanky fellow with no butt.  Fella might be a Stick figure [most often] or similar.  Variations included fella with a shotgun, running, getting booted over the fence...

Just something about seeing one of these on a Traphouse door, or be way down the property and be one of these on the tree next to gate entering a field, or near a farm pond, or...

They even made small ones and had some of the cows wearing them like pendants...

One pasture "road" was nicknamed "Bull Run" - we went thru/ near that pasture to get to the quail.  I'd been known to "make a path that-a-way...

Property owner just cleared the path and made it a "road" for my benefit. Put up a "Road Sign" with "Bull Run" on it and underneath a Yellow one with me hauling butt with shotgun making tracks for the fence - Bull breathing down my backside, dust just a flying...
