Old Butter Churn & Memories of the Good Ole Days

5  Gallon Butter Churn

    We found this old 5 gallon butter churn 

                   at a yard sale today.  This one is a keeper. 

 Sure takes me back to childhood days 

when some days we had so much milk, 

mom and us girls would all churn at the same time. 

 One of us would use a churn like this one, 

one would use an old crank paddle churn, 

and the others would poor milk in gallon jars, 

and shake them on their knees.  

Those were the days when so many families, 

including ours, raised most of our food, 

we raised a garden, chickens, hogs, and a cow.  

   Can't help but think we'd be a lot healthier

 if we raised all our food today, 

 just like in the good ole days.
