RE: Pay it forward: Product hunting and farming
done my round check and really love the idea of biolumenescent light and I tell you.. farmer with umbrella while planting rice is quite a unique photo,, never seen any women do that in my country.. hahahaha, nice picks @macoolette, I must make another journey of commenting tonight.. and will check on your other posts.. happy flower?
Hahaha! You have keen eyes to notice the umbrella which makes me remember the same thing. I haven't seen something like that during my childhood when we were farming. I guess that should give other farmers the idea to somehow ease the heat or protection from the rain while they are farming.
Thanks fot making the rounds!
I am just now making rounds myself. The umbrella comment caught my eye. My granny use to try and get me to carry a parasol in the summer. When she was young all the girls would use them in summer to escape the sun.
I was just over reading a post ny @thelaundrylady she was showing her plants that were under a shade tarp. They appeared significantly better than the ones outside the tarp.
Maybe the parasol trend is coming back?
I guess our oldies know what harm the sun can cause us thus they try to protect us from it. When I was young what my mother would require me if I go with them to the farm is to wear my hat, always. Otherwise, she would not allow me to be out under the sun. Though, I get my way once in a while as I thought the hat is just a hindrance. I only realized the importance of wearing sun blocks when I got older.
We were no longer farming when the umbrella hat like this one became popular.

Yes, maybe people are learning as they go that umbrella and parasol are becoming popular again.
hahahaha.. even farmers in my country never wore that kind of mbrella hat. I have that umbrella hat when I was in elementary school, but only use it once, because running in the rain was more interesting. our farmers wear the bammbo hat called caping in Java, though many women in my hometown wears jilbab/hijab to prevent their head from the sun heat and also a part og muslim fashion. aahh.. I didn't have any picture of the women when they're working in the rice field in front of my house before.
Yap, we also use bamboo hat because it is the common one. We call it salakot but this blog calls it differently, in a different dialect: https://steemit.com/philippines/@mrnightmare89/welcome-to-the-philippines-pajadpad
Whew.. there must be so many dialects also in Philipines.. and you should learn 2 or three of them, it's fun😉
Good suggestion! I go to different places in our country and I don't understand most of what they are saying especially in the southern area. Maybe I should indeed learn different dialects. 😀
I love those hats they look so funny. My Granny use to always make me wear a sun bonnet. I think I still have one up in the attic.
@cicisaja I always thought the hijab looked very hot maybe good for colder climates.
These days I wear a lot of different hats and headbands. They keep my hair out of my way more than anything.
All umbrella hat I saw are like that with different colors. I tried once using my fellow when I was vending vegetables. It may feel uncomfortable at first but looks really cool.
