Hmmm....perhaps I should have left out the 'sunburned' part. But recognize that I said I was "imagining". I've always been fascinated by those old photos of farmers taken during the dust bowl. Have heard many stories about that. My late mother-in-law grew up in Kansas and would talk about putting wet rags along the window sills and setting the table with the plates upside down. Lot of hardship.
@needrain my great grandmother always wore one of those bonnets as well. Wish I had one.
@porkpal actually I occasionally still see a farmer that fits that description. And it makes me happy.
