Miracle Grow or Love???

We decided to plant a little garden in the front flower bed. It started off as a couple tomato plants and expanded to some cilantro, 2 pepper plants, some strawberries and a cantaloupe plant.As you can see, the tomato plants are doing very well. I like to think it's love that's making them grow, but I have a feeling it's the nice shot of Miracle Grow that Dylan gave them. Or maybe it's the special watering that Riley gives them with the squirt gun?The cherry tomato plant is taller than the kids...My biggest romas...I'm looking forward to them ripening.
And then the cherries...awfully big for cherry tomatoes don'tcha think??? These are just the biggest, but the bush is loaded! I'm going to have cherry tomatoes coming out my ears soon...

VIPS 5K


June 19th I ran a local 5k. I ended up placing 1st in my age group. A few days ago I got my medal in the mail...which is pretty rare. Normally if you leave without picking up your medal, you are out of luck. The organizers of this race were nice enough to look up my registration info and mail me my medal along with a nice note. As you can see in the picture, the medals are quite nice. This will definitely be a race that I continue running in the years to come. Great cause (visually impaired persons) and a great race!
