Once again you have shared your lovely, comforting childhood memories with us which allowed me to take the time to remember the images of my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles who were not afraid to get their hands dirty in celebration of the Earth around them.
We were all blessed to watch these workers and work aside them. The tradition of "honest" work may be gone with rich soil blowing away. Some of us still enjoy sharing our garden vegetables with our neighbors and friends and still hear our grandparents voices while having fun in dirt. I truly love your work!!
Great imagery - brings back lots of memories. My grandpa was a farmer in Nebraska. My dad was a corn geneticist at UN - his summer “office” the cornfields.
