1937 Maryland Beans, Sun Bonnets

It is report card time with the school full of families, and school is ramping up into the pre-holiday tizzy that propels us through the next two weeks.  Book Fairs, Winter Concerts, the Invention Convention,  not to mention children anticipating Santa Claus, have the halls vibrating with anticipation.  Blogging on seeds is just not working!  I think I will take a break and just share photos and odd and ends that have a seedy past of some sort.  The last day or so I have been looking around the Library of Congress.

Loading a truck with string beans, near Cambridge, Maryland is how this photo is described in the 

LOC collection.   Note the woman's sun bonnet. 

 In June 1937 photographer Arthur Rothstein captured this image for the Farm Security Administration.  Eleven photographers canvassed the United States to record rural poverity and the life of farmers.
