Tomatoes on my windowsill as if happy soldiers smiling at the sun while they patiently ripen. When I do my kitchen chores, I smile back, enlightened. one by one, I take down and add them to a salad, some salsa or perhaps stuff them on a sandwich.Then to my garden to pluck another load; but I notice they are turning red as soon as I get them shelved, my garden calls me back. They're ripening all at once, I think, as I pick them up. From off the vine, they drop like flies, and my plot starting to look like road kills. I started given them to my neighbors; I give them to my family and friends. Now, I give them to anyone who wants them.
It was a great season for tomatoes...maybe next season I'll grow carrots.
