Day 10 #100DaysOfOldDays

A young person of today may not know what this is.

It’s a scythe. It was used for cutting grass and harvesting crops. The lord of death, the Grim Reaper, carries one for harvesting souls at the end of their time on earth!

My dad used his in the 70’s and 80’s for cutting long grass. But our lawn at home was cut with a little push along mower; like this one in Lucy’s drawing.

The scythe was very sharp and dangerous. We were always warned never to go near it, and we never did. We played by the river instead. (That’s tomorrow’s story)
