How to spot a farmer

I'm sure there are many ways to spot a farmer but one in particular hit home for me today. It was a light rain this morning but cool so we had on our winter jackets and boots, as usual. However it didn't occur to me until we reached the school it was the same outdoor clothes we wore yesterday building the pig pasture.
I frantically grabbed a rag out of the back and wiped at the now glaring mud on my jacket, which just ended up spreading dirty water all over. That was the moment I looked at our boots. Wow, I couldn't even see the colours on my Bogs. The kids were worse. Through the parking lot we walked through every puddle I could find. This at least cleared off the mud from the soles so we were slightly incognito going through the school, slightly. Later at the Building Supply Store I did get a lot more respect though.
So I'm counting it as a win and smiling.

The photo is after mine were washed up a bit and the kids had gone out to play by the pigs. I know what I'm cleaning tonight!
