Looking at the date as I started this blog, it brought back fond memories of my dad...This photo is how I mostly remember him...Always in bib overalls, usually on his John Deere tractor, smoking a cigarette and always wearing a hat...Although he usually had on a regular hat, not a baseball cap...He was a hardworking man, with a twinkle in his eye...Always helping neighbors, friends and family...He loved all mankind but especially little children...He died when he was only 54 years old of pancreatic cancer, I was 19...Over 50 years later he is still missed by those of us who knew and loved him...He was born May 14 1907.
An early walk yesterday changed directions when a PE class was using the track...We took a grassy path around Joseph Charter School, down the hill and up E street to the main highway, back down College street to our cars and then to Write People...A quiet meeting with just 4 of us...Lunch at "Old Town Cafe" where we sat outside to enjoy the sun.
Later in the afternoon about 17 people gathered for Garden Club as Beth Gibbons gave us the history of starting her "Backyard Gardens," a "Farmers Market" and her own "Catering Business." She now farms over two acres of gardens scattered around Joseph and another 1/4 acre near Imnaha...She employs 3 people plus herself from mid April to November.
I finished my day deadheading daffodils and soaking up the sun on the deck...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
