We met 2 dozen friends and family at the food bank farm to celebrate Eliot's first birthday by working the Earth with hoes and gloved hands.  All the food grown at the FBF goes to the food bank but to grow the food comes at a price - a steady and loyal volunteer workforce.  Colleen and I decided the best way to celebrate Eliot's birthday was to surround him with those who care about him and figure out a way that we can give - rather than receive - a gift. Thanks to all of those who made this day special; for your presence iss truly the only present we need.
