That's a pastoral setting you photographed. The porch with the wicker rocking chairs, the truck bed with greenery, the barn in the background..looks like something Norman Rockwell could have painted.

That's the side porch of my 157 year old house. Bought it about 3 years ago right downtown Hudson, Ohio. Totally restored in the old traditional style, and I Love It. There red barn is where I get resusitation working on the old truck.

Thanks for noticing, most people think we're nuts for living in the old house.

Love the house, truck, barn, and the whole scene. Can't wait until I can haul some stuff for my wife. She's a green thumb, too. She already digs the truck, but that'll be bonus points. Nice pic....

Very nice. It's so green there, were still in the brown season here (although it was white today, hail, snow, then hail again).

Woohooo!!!

I used mine to haul some groceries this weekend, after a year of driving the truck without a bedfloor its pretty cool to be able to set stuff in the bed.

Beautiful place you have there

Hey Jim, maybe you could take some more shots of your truck a little farther from the house. Then maybe we could see more of your neat abode. Joe

I love houses of that era, it looks wonderful! Nothing like an old house with an old truck next to it, thanks for making Monday morning so great!

I used to work in Hudson so I think I know where Jim's house and truck are. I say we go toilet paper his house (do kids still do that? Seemed like it was a weekly event back when I was a kid) this weekend. Who's in?

PS Hey Jim, I see you have historic plates on your truck. I thought those were only for driving your ride to and from shows? I s'ppose the flower shop was between your home and the show, right?

plates

yeah, in fact it was directly one half of the way to the show.
For more pics of the house check out www.jimhackney.net

Kids still paper the Clocktower Green at least once a year.
