Years ago someone made a new barrel and refurbished the frame with new wheels and such but the wood is still original. I always wanted one of those antique yard ornaments that are very popular around here--farm equipment and such but I never could exactly put my finger on exactly what I wanted until I saw my cannon.Annette Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879067226705508336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-55962197537316309692011-07-04T14:13:55.503-05:002011-07-04T14:13:55.503-05:00Annette, you have a cannon in your front yard?

Independence Day is unusual as it's about others and our past.

I lived a little over a year in Omaha, Nebraska and, biy oh boy, when I saw winter rolling in again, I headed for Texas. I found the people of Nebraska different in that they're hard to get to know, but when you find a Nebraskan friend. they're your friend for life. <br />I'm glad you found your own free voice.

Love the yard art...great cannon. Does it fire on 4th of July? I don't know about living in such a small town, after growing up in NYC. The best thing would be support of your neighbors...it takes a whole village to supply diapers to one wet baby.Fran Orensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274045061050774468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-24614186844479792842011-07-03T07:35:14.939-05:002011-07-03T07:35:14.939-05:00Happy Independence Day, Annette!

Even though we live in North Carolina, my husband goes to Nebraska every year (20+ years now) to pheasant hunt. Families in Beaver City and Fairbury put he and his buddies in their basements and consider them family. A while back, the Beaver City folks came to us since their daughters had never seen the ocean. We were delighted to watch them experience the Atlantic. Two years ago, my husband and I drove out to spend a few days in Nebraska and then head on to Yellowstone. I loved the 1950s feel of old long dirt roads and houses far apart. I love the idea of this blog. I hope bloggers will drop by and read something personal about all fifty of our beautiful states.
