Thielen's garden

This farmer is no longer with us. When I took this picture, it was the last time that I ever saw Leonard. On that day, I drove Sister Ben and my mother out to his farm to get some vegetables. He not only gave us most of his garden, but also about half of his farm. Leonard had a unique way of cleaning the veggies. He put them into an old Maytag washer he had in the grainery, and they washed up real well.
