This picture can be summed up in one word…

…determined!

On Father’s Day our first tomato was just about ready for picking so Connor and I had the honor of doing so.  Mommy was stationed over by the garden as Daddy and Connor headed outside in search of our “first harvest”.  Connor made a B line for the garden and Daddy had a hard time slowing him up.  When I saw this picture I was filled with such joy and love for him.  A true memory for Father’s Day.  I can just see how determined he was to get over to the garden.

In the past few weeks, he has learned how to pull weeds and how to pluck the dead (and some new) flowers from the marigold plants we have growing in the garden.

This was our first attempt at a garden and it seems to be doing fairly well.  The squirrels, rabbits, opossums (yes that is spelled correctly), and raccoons actually were gracious enough to allow us to have the first ripe tomato.  (Ok, we picked it maybe a day early just so I could beat them to the punch.)

Anyways…here is the picture.  Other pictures are on the gallery.
