Out for a Drive

While driving a back road I saw a man out in his garden and had to stop!

I love to drive around Parker County and find people to meet and photograph. As you all know, No one is a stranger to me. I found this wonderful man last weekend tending his garden. He bought the 3 acres in 1948, raised 3 boys and grew most of his own food. Mr.N is 89 years young with an easy, friendly personality I fell in love with. He was very surprised a stranger would find him interesting. I learned many things in our hour together about how hard life was way back when. He bought the entire property for $250 an acre, and was just told last week it is worth $30,000 an acre. No, he is not selling.
