while eating a homegrown tomato"

Pommes D'Amour
by Jeffrey T. Larson

We've anxiously watched our tomatoes swell...
soak up the sunshine
and finally ripen
My picker and our harvest
Ripening in the kitchen window...
above my "tomato-orange" sink!
"Don't bend over in the garden, Granny,
you know them taters got eyes"
Title of bestselling book by the late southern humorist,
#1 University of Georgia fan, and author Lewis Grizzard
Hope you are enjoying fresh tomatoes and good books this summer

That is such a lovely painting. The straw hat reminds me of my grandmother.
