Fifty Years, Canton

Beaver Meadow Farm Canton, NY June 2025

Fifty years married, marked in the barn their son rebuilt. Four generations, one long table, and the same two people who started it.

The barn doors open onto the field

Fifty year old wedding photograph propped on the mantel

Hands, both wedding bands worn thin

Family arriving through the field gate

Grandchildren setting the long table

Anniversary blessing in the barn

Both of them laughing at the same thing

Plates being passed down the table

Toast raised by the eldest son

Dancing on the barn floor after dinner

The two of them walking back to the house

Jars of preserves lined up as favours

Field beyond the barn at last light

Coats and boots by the door at the end
