Is there anything as wonderful as home-grown tomatoes that have ripened on the vine? When I visited K. in August, he gave me a selection of the ripest most luscious tomatoes to take home. And they were the most delicious tomatoes I have tasted this entire summer. It hadn't been an auspicious start with all the rain we had in July and then the cool temperatures that followed in August. The tomatoes that K. gave me were among the first of his crop this year. I tried to ration them out over several days, eating them all on their own as sliced rounds with a tiny sprinkling of salt. As a thank you I painted this watercolour and sent it off to him. They look almost as yummy as his were.
