Default Local Farmer hanging on...

Here is the fourth in my series of Hanging on for Christmas. I had more fun with this one and I think it shows. From the patches on his jeans to the holes in his shoes, he symbolizes a lot of farmers, just barely hanging on for Christmas.

Wanda, that is one cute little farmer. Looks like he's hung onto his sense of humor also.
