Keep on the sunny side

Farm lifestyle isn't always as glamorous as you likely have in mind. Sometimes it really is kinda nasty outside, but duty still calls. Granted, today duty called about an hour later than usual and also allowed for a slightly extended lunch hour, but still, I had to go outside.

We're currently feeding some cows silage out in the pasture as the pastures just aren't quite ready for grazing. That process is entirely mechanical, but it still requires someone to drive the tractor out in the elements. Here you can see how my face looked after about 40min on the tractor with the tires kicking up mud, sand and a fair bit of water to combine with the light rain constantly falling. The face was washable, but the jacket and pants will take longer to clean. In case you were wondering, I had my hood up and a cap on, thus the mostly clean ears and forehead.

Ah, the sheen of the glamor almost makes a person blind.
