farming in skirts not wearing a bra

wanna know one way a woman farmer is different than a man farmer?  a woman will farm in a skirt and leave her bra at home.  why? because it is 10,000 degrees outside and wearing a bra or pants when it is that hot is just torture.  women farmers differ from their male counterparts in a lot ways.  every month, for at least one week, we are dealing with our uterus rejecting us.  we run the risk of getting a rash from poison oak/ivy when we go to the bathroom outside.  we have to think about what to make for lunch not what's for lunch.  no one is in the kitchen making us lunch.  if the kid is sick. . .nothing is happening in the field that day.  all of this doesn't make the job of a women farmer harder or more trying than a man's. . .just different.  and it is not said for the sake of bitching. all of the women of clementine's are more than grateful for our magical gnome (mike) who spent the weekend weeding an 8 1/2 acre plot of land.  keep in mind, though, that magical gnome is pretty impressed with what all of the women have done to that 8 1/2 acre plot.

*look for details on our farm stand opening this week.  we will also be at the muchas gracias brunch on sunday selling veggies & tickets to our august dinner in the field event.
