My tomato had an appendage. Or something. A horn? A thumb? I don’t know, but it sure was tasty.

For the colors, they are a-changin’

I had some visitors yesterday morning. I wonder if they’re twins. I figured they were looking for snacks in my garden, but they wandered around my whole yard, letting me get close and take pictures. They’re SO quiet. They finally ran off into the corn.

Is that a carrot in your pocket?

The rutabaga and carrots? Huge! And tasty!

The canteloupe? Ripe! And tasty!

And all around me a voice was calling, this land was made for you and me

Remember Keep America Beautiful? And this guy?

So why do I have to pick up trash in my yard? I live in the country. Don’t make me go near those cornstalks.

Listen. You don’t even have to be literate. Just look at the fries box. See where it tells you to toss your trash? NOT out the car window.

C’mon. Don’t make that guy cry anymore, huh?

There’s no way to escape the sunrise and the sunset

Only two things that money can’t buy that’s true love and home grown tomatoes (and green peppers)
