I read another friend's poetry and it hit me the same way...must be something in the water, hahaha!<br /><br />Hot weather such as you describe hasn't arrived here as yet, but it will. Oh! It gets so hot here, but it's also very dry. I feel like shedding my skin when the heat arrives, just like a snake, heh!<br /><br />No tomatoes yet, but my plants are flowering. I drain the well dry making sure those tomatoes grow big and juicy. They're my very favourites in the vegetable garden!!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-63528781043082291972010-06-17T17:32:01.081-05:002010-06-17T17:32:01.081-05:00Marion, you are such a poet-saint-goddess.

But, by God, I'm gonna water those damn tomatoes I grew from seeds which are now covered in fat, green fruit! I just came in from watering and I think I'll just strip and forget about clothes for the rest of the week. LOL! Stay cool. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.

(and you're also right about the menopause part...)<br /><br />I need to go water the tomatoes growing in the pots on my front porch. The others got a good soaking Sunday when my husband forgot and left the soaker hose on them for ages! They sure dry out fast in this weather, though.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-77892160780170342632010-06-15T12:50:42.140-05:002010-06-15T12:50:42.140-05:00Eric, I bow to your poet-heart.
