My father-in-law, Hubert, is 84 and still keeps a garden each year. This year he has about 140 tomato plants.
He gives them away to friends and family. Yes…he gives them away. He has “a list”.
This is our first take for the season…a basket of the best home growns you can get. One of ‘em makes about two ‘mater sandwiches, sometimes three. They’re big.
Hubert really toils over his tomato garden. He is very proud of his work and he should be. He’s had a garden for many, many years. And as such, has kept many people happy each summer with his generosity. People like Hubert are hard to find these days.
I thought they made a nice sketch and a nice testimonial toward being good to others.

What a lovely tribute!
Thanks for stopping by Natalie and thanks for your comment
My prayers are with you regarding your MS.
I’ve always had a special fondness for vegetable gardeners who are so generous with the products of their hard labor. Your sketch beautifully portrays the richness of the basket and fresh tomatoes.
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments. You would really appreciate the taste of his tomatoes too…they’re really outstanding
What a treat! Homegrown tomatoes are so yummy, and you sketch is wonderful too.
Thanks for the comments Martha! Just had a ‘mater sandwich this afternoon
