Happy Father's Day

This is my dad from about 30 years ago. Dad retired from farming when he was 80 years old, he is 88 now. Although he is in constant pain everyday, he still is able to plant a garden in the back yard. He leans against his walker, and uses the hoe to loosen the dirt and then drops the plant in the hole, and uses the hoe to tamp the dirt down. No raised garden for him.

There is a lot of strong character in that face. What a great photograph.

I can't imagine the hard labor of being a farmer. The body must take quite a beating. This is a great photo, and I hope he had a great day today.
