I love this picture of him helping Mom in the garden, this was an important part of my growing up in Kansas. Helping with the garden was my summer duty..watering, weeding, picking the fresh vegetables, and helping the corn pollinate by using a paper sack, placing it over the silks, shaking vigorously, now not too vigorously, and the real treat was, I had first pick of the cherry tomatoes.

What a timely post-- Kent literally had first pick of the cherry tomatoes today, because one of them had started to turn orange (not red yet, just not quite green anymore), and he was so excited that he picked it even though I told him we'd have to wait another day or two. It's in a paper bag with some avocados attempting to ripen indoors now... we'll see if it keeps turning!
