the Stratford Hand

the stratford hand
This isnt my work. I'd love to be able to work in metal, but I cant. This is the work of a welder in Stratford, Oklahoma, a rather battered country town on Highway 177. It's not much of a place, but every June and July the peach crop comes in and then driving thru town is a little slice of heaven. I love peaches, but since California peaches suck, I rarely get any. I'm sure they're delicious enough in California, but you cant beat fresh peaches picked ripe, rather than pre-ripe enough to survive shipping to the ends of the earth.

I simply hate peaches. And I live in Cali..perhaps that is why I hate them? Afterall, your the peach expert ;p
