On the way to my Father’s Day post I discovered a couple neat things.
Did you know you can embed Facebook images into a blog? I do now, but I didn’t know it a half an hour ago. I was looking at the pic I’d cropped to show just Dad and me when I noticed the photo editing sidebar:
Then I saw the Embed Post option so I decided I would post my FaceBook profile image which I had posted for Fathers Day along with a comment that I wrote in response to a friend, who is also the mom of a friend, who said that she did not know my Dad was a farmer. A very short summary of my Dad conveyed a bit of his essence.

My dad was a dirt poor, bib-overall wearing, environmentally informed, pro-small farm, Farmer’s Union lobbying, Bible quoting agnostic, tall-tale telling, give you as much rope as you need to trip yourself up, historian without a college degree, lemonade loving man. I miss him. He died in 1986 on Christmas Day, and would be turning 99 this year if he was he alive today.
