Farmer Floyd

I heard the other day that a friend was working on a children's book, inspired by his sons. A very long time ago, I wrote a story for my eldest daughter to illustrate. The farmer in the story is named after my grandfathers, both of whom were named Floyd, but only one of them actually went by Floyd. The other was called Ace.

I have always loved the picture she drew of Farmer Floyd. I don't have a scanner here at home, but I did take a picture of him. I'll try to scan it later and replace the photo with a better image.

"He watered the seed, and fertilized it, and watched it sprout."

"Soon a little pumpkin bloomed and started growing on the vine."

    I'm with coop, need a better look at the hat cause right now I'm seeing three ears of corn! But it's a great piece of art Andra!

    It's a straw hat, not corn! And that's about the extent of my artistic ability to this day.

    That's not true, you are very creative.
