That's great but it sounds like it could be hard work! Good luck to him on his new job!!!!

Well, son is home and exhausted! Not from the work, but from the heat. He said all he had to do was remove the taller corn plants. So it wasn't really all that physical, (except for the walking), but it was sunshine and 87 degrees. The next couple of days it's suppose to be in the 90's and he has to work.

I told him to remember that his grandparents had to work in those hot greenhouses in the summer and they did it for years. It will just take him some time to get use to it. He takes plenty of water and uses sunscreen, so he should be alright. They make them take a lot of water breaks.

He'll forget about the heat when he gets his first paycheck...lol He loves money and is quite the saver.

Congratulations to him! Can he wear a wet towel around his neck? I always found that to be helpful in my school when it got too hot. The kids did it too. They carried a rag with them and periodically wet it.

Might be a NY thing. We don't have an opportunity to work outside in the fields.

Anyway, I'm happy for him. He sounds like such a good kid.
