During two successive summers during my high school years, Dr Borrud hired one of my very close friends and me to "pick rocks" on his land. "Picking cotton" can't possibly be any worse than "picking rocks." His farm was just north of Williston, and I assume these are wells on his land.
Dr Borrud lived a block from where we lived; his daughter was in our carpool during middle school years. I believe Dr Borrud moved from Williston to Minneapolis shortly before/shortly after their daughter graduated from high school.

A Note to the Granddaughters
During two successive summers during my high school years, Dr Borrud hired one of my very close friends and me to "pick rocks" on his land. "Picking cotton" can't possibly be any worse than "picking rocks." His farm was just north of Williston, and I assume these are wells on his land.
Dr Borrud lived a block from where we lived; his daughter was in our carpool during middle school years. I believe Dr Borrud moved from Williston to Minneapolis shortly before/shortly after their daughter graduated from high school.
Dr. Strinden also hired us kids to pick rocks. Those sneaky doctors. Was your friend Bruce?
ReplyDeleteI did not know that others also picked rocks. It was miserable. No, not Bruce. It was Dave.
DeleteI recall, in the late '50s, that when it was too wet to plow and too windy to pick rock, we actually got to "go to town". But the truth remains: it is harder to build a haystack in 90 degree weather than to pick rock. Glad to not being doing either now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for noting that (again). The first time you wrote I did not think about building a haystack. But now I recall helping build a very, very small haystack in south Texas. I never, never could have built a "real" haystack. You are correct -- there is no comparison. The haystack would be exponentially much more difficult. Picking up was back-breaking, but worse, it was mind-numbing. But the physical labor would not compare at all to building a "real" ND / MT haystack.
