The First Tomato

I know it is small- but it is significant.
Growth, Life, Earth
and a little bit of Me. 

And yes, I do pronounce tomato the way the Brits do.  Some things just sound better that way.

A couple of weeks ago mom and I began our kitchen garden... well, it is more of a back deck garden, really.  Regardless, we started digging, planting, fussing over our baby herbs and veggies.

I talk to them, of course, and water them, touch them, feel their soil for dryness, do all things I must in order to acknowledge their lovely lovely earthy existence.

It is a wonderful thing, to have a garden and witness the simplicity of growth.  And here it is- the culmination of the simplicity of growth- the first breath of life- the first tomato.  It is green and hardly even close to being ripe, but it is THERE!  And all of its lovely greenness is a sign of things to come- more green, more gold, more striking life!

Until next time, Friends

Enjoy the Cycle.
