I tomato my farmer

Our sister-in-law Sheri grew up on a citrus farm in Florida. So she knows all about driving a tractor and obsessing about the weather. But then she had the (mis)fortune to marry a Yankee (my brother), and to make matters worse he was a Yankee living in a city (Providence, RI). But this hasn't deterred Sheri from continuing to fight for farms. She is one of the grand poobahs at Farm Fresh Rhode Island and she manages several farmer's markets in Providence. Farm Fresh Rhode Island rocks, by the way, but that will have to be a different post.
Recently she sent us a care package that included several bumper stickers that said "I [tomato/heart] my farmer." Waverly thought it would be funny to put one on her brother's back, and Henry thought it was funny too. So all day long today he ran around as a human billboard for Farm Fresh Rhode Island. We are doing our part to get the word out up here, Sheri!
