During last year I went out and took pictures of my dad farming various times.  I tried to cover “main events” like the snow storms, the flooding, the planting, and the harvesting. 

Like I say at the end of the book, I created the book for my kids and my nephew.  I think some day they will really appreciate having it.  Things will change,  and it will be nice to have something to look back on so we remember how things were in 2008, and how hard of a working person my dad is.  The daily entries that are in the book are from my dad’s journal.  He has kept a journal for years.  The AM and PM stuff is what the tempature was that day.  Some of it won’t make sense to you without understanding stuff like; Mikes, JoAnn’s, Trainor’s are different farms. ( they all have names, usually they are names after previous owners). 

Here is the book online…  http://www.photographybyjayme.com/dad/projectdad.html

PS  My dad teared up when I gave him the book. (he tears up pretty easy, we get that trait from Grandma Marjorie)
