I was talking with my daughter and she said something about her memory of a wheelbarrow that had been at my mom’s house. I thought it was probably around here somewhere (do farmers ever throw anything away?) and that prompted me to look for it.

This is the current barn wheelbarrow. I think I’ve had this one since before we moved here in 1999.That tape has been on a crack in the handle for years and it has had new wheels. Is it possible that this is the wheelbarrow that came with us from the dairy? Maybe Rubbermaid should be making cars.

This is just a newer version of the other one, It is supposed to be Dan’s wheelbarrow but it has made it to the barn too.

I started looking for others. There are new wooden handles for this one under that bench. I think the handles were a Christmas present for me, but there is obviously some work to be done to make this functional.

This started life as a wheelbarrow and when the “barrow” part broke Dan adapted it to a one-wheeled platform to move things around. It has been in one place for awhile and junk and pine needles have accumulated.

How about this one? Needs work.

As does this one.

Don’t know this one’s story. Maybe it’s upside down to keep it from filling with rain. Or is it in need of serious repair?

Wheelbarrow converted to planter.

This one deserves more of a story . That will be another post.
