Red and ripe

Tomato, tom-ah-to. Call 'em what you will, they are getting ripe and ready to pluck from the vine. Lovely, organic fruit grown right in front of your eyes. It's not a big event in the scheme of things. Obviously we eat food every day that has gone through the same life cycle; one that, frankly would be difficult to suppress if we wanted to. But somehow seeing food grown in person is like witnessing an extraordinary thing. The metamorphosis from seed to fruit is truly amazing to watch. It's kind of life affirming really.

Let's call the whole thing off.
