Farms - and farmers - do not give up on things easily. They have a remarkable capacity to stash the smallest of gadgets and the oldest of implements until the day comes when their purpose on this earth may once again come to the fore.
Until their time comes 'round again, these offcuts of a busy way of life, wait patiently in a ditch, against a barn, "down the back" providing fodder for artistic types who may want to sketch them, or photograph them.
