We continue to find cool things out here at the Poor Farm.
It has a raised 45 or 49 on the bottom which means it is from the 1940's most likely.
I put milk in it so you could see the writing on the bottle.

On June 10th of 2022 I posted a video of the begining of our renovation project of the Poor house just a few months after God had impressed on us to house Ukrainian refugees.Today we completed that project and here is the new video of the finished work. Thank you to all who helped financially, prayerfully, with your time and elbow grease.

A week of these beautiful views and we are ready for some thawing out now.
