A Safe Lift from the Farmer

Beside the hay wagon, the farmer steadies a Frederic Burk School boy as he climbs carefully down from the bales. The boy leans forward into the farmer’s sure grip, while a woman, seated on the wagon with a small child in her lap, watches with a broad, cheerful smile. Overhead, the branches of a tall tree stretch wide, giving shade to the scene. The moment blends work and warmth — the farmer’s strength and the children’s trust entwined in a gesture of care.
