  1. An Old Mill

    Share Share Post
    There is an old mill at the of my father's field. It was a man named father's field. It was a man named Gibson who last worked it. It was a flax mill. The ruins are still to be seen, but they are grown over with bushes. You can see the place where the water used to run to the big wheel. This filed is on my father's farm.
