We were so excited about this little guy. He's the first of hopefully many more garden goodies right out of our own backyard. When I say we were excited I mean excited...like the kids were jumping around and screaming...I was trying not to, but I did do a little heel click. Then I had to run inside to call my mom and dad. They're garden people and I knew they'd be proud. They didn't even laugh at me for getting crazy over a cherry tomato. Instead, they got crazy with me. Now that's parental love.
Ty and I are the only ones in the family who can appreciate the sweet deliciousness of a fresh out of the garden tomato. I picked it while he was at school, and I wanted it BAD. I knew I'd better wait for him. As soon as he walked into the kitchen he spotted it on the counter and yelled, "I want that!" Hmmm. Two of us - one tomato. One
cherry tomato.
I cut it in half and we feasted together. And we savored every bit of the 1.3 seconds it took to chew and swallow.
Love it!
