Poppy



Poppy, isn’t he adorable? He is 86 years old and every morning he is up at 6am and starts working on the farm at 7am. He comes in for lunch at 12, back out to harvesting until dinner at 5, and then back out AGAIN until it gets dark.







It is truly amazing, I have never seen anyone work as hard as he does. I’m talking real physical labor, sowing the crops, and a bunch of other laborious farming concepts and terminology I don’t get. And he always has a smile on his face. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was on some kind of medicinal cocktail of speed and happy pills, but he just really enjoys working his land.
