Tomatoes!

Our neighbors told us how easy a drip system is to do in the garden (and be able to hook it up to your hose) and how much it helped their garden. We're probably going to do one too so I went to measure the garden yesterday and Crue came outside with me. I have 7 grape tomato plants (one is dying I think) because Crue loves them and eats them like candy if we let him. While we were out there I noticed a tomato on the ground and when I looked through the plants there was another one that was ready to pick. I gave them to Crue and he was SO excited. I told him to wait so we could wash them off. He'd hold them up to his mouth once in a while with his mouth wide open and wait to see what I'd do/say but when I told him we had to wash them first he'd put his hands down and be ok for a while. I offered to hold the tomatoes while he tried to walk through the weeds and then up the stairs on our deck but he didn't want to give them up. So I just grabbed his arm to help him. Here's the happy boy with his tomatoes! They were gone as soon as we got them washed off.
