A True Celebrity Tomato



I ate it.
I ate it like it was an apple.
The first tomato I have successfully grown in many years.
I am always grateful for the abundance of our grocery stores
The respect I feel is for all of the people that fill the stores with produce, meat and that stock the shelves ~
The respect I feel is for the life within the tiny seeds that shoot up from the soil,
the blossoms that bear the beautiful fruit so that I can grow and eat my own tomatoes.
Red, delicious and fresh.

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap
 but by the seeds that you plant.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson 
(1850-1894), Scottish author
