pop and his work hat

 

These past spring-like days have had my father working in the fields in his baby John Deere tractor.  He's wearing his "work hat" not to be confused with the regular hat or Sunday hat -- all Stetsons.  Pop started farming about 70 years ago after leaving the Marine Corps in World War II.

Today was one of those tantalizing teasers of spring -- who would believe 80 degrees in mid-February?  Even my 89-year old dad enjoyed being able to go to the farm. He plowed some and worked on equipment in the farm shop.
