You would think this Monday is simply like every other Monday but not today! I went out to my garden to pick more green beans. I stayed focused and got them picked. I knew I would also need to pick the cucumbers and so I did that as well.
Then it happened! Out of the corner of my eye I saw the color red. It took me a moment for color of red to register in my mind that the red was in fact a group of ripened cherry tomatoes!
Dance Like No One Is Watching
And that is exactly what I did! There is something about seeing the first ripened red tomato. It always makes me happy.
Then I picked them. I looked at one of them, wiped it off with my shirt and popped it into my mouth! There is nothing that tastes better than a home grown tomato.
BLT – Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Sandwiches Are In The Near Future
I decided to take a closer look at my tomatoes called ‘Celebrity’. The majority of them are still green, but there are two that are beginning to turn red. I better write down bacon on my grocery list because it is coming soon!
Find Some Joy In Your Day!
If you are a gardener like I am, you will know of the excitement I feel when the first tomato ripens. Don’t stop there. Nature is all around us and make a point to look around. Find something that will fill you with joy like I experienced today! Maybe it is a butterfly, a hummingbird, the mum plants that are flooding the stores, the flowers that are blooming around you. Then, dance like no one is watching!
