In my opinion, one of the simplest pleasures of life is picking a juicy red tomato off the vine, still hot from the sun ... wiping the dust off on your sleeve, and eating it right there in the garden.
Southern Humorist Lewis Grizzard said it best when he said, "It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." And speaking of tomatoes, back in March, I shared a slideshow I created from photos I took of my daddy, who is 84, teaching our four-year-old granddaughter Avery how to plant tomatoes. Today, I'd like to share a follow up on her tomatoes, and if you missed the first slideshow, you might like to view it before you see the second one:

ps my husband's niece just had her first baby, Ella-Marie, did I have fun buying an outfit for her :) !!!!
Aww her tomatoes look so yummy. We jsut got ours in the ground Saturday! We need to plant a little later here.
She will be surprised. What a great treat to have her great grand daddy teach her how to plant the tomatoes. Hopefully he will be there so they can reap the harvest of their labors together.
Sweet post.
Janie, I know just what you mean about tomatoes, I have doing that everyday for about 2 weeks and I think I am turning red!
Great pictures and memories for Avery.
Hugs,

Hi Janie,
Your photos of Avery Grace and her Great-Grandpa are just beautiful. I agree with you, I love the close-up of their hands working together. It's wonderful that Avery Grace has this time with her G-Grandpa! very few children get to have that time. She is learning more than just how to plant tomatoes! I love it that he prayed with her over the tomatoes, asking God to help them to care for them. Avery will long remember these special moments. Beautiful post! Linda
I completely agree! There is not too many things better than eating a homegrown tomatoe right off the vine!
