It was a beautiful day filled with hard work, home-cooked food, fun, and fellowship at Kelly Tucker’s yearly “hay mowing with mules” in Jones Hollow. With families gathering at the field with home cooked food, and teams of mules and horses, the day provided an opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a simpler way of life.
