Another good use for an easel

Yesterday I used the easel as a safe place to put tomatoes from the garden, since as they ripen they are being eaten alive so I must pick when semi-green still.
This afternoon I cleared them all off and put them on the outdoor table and brought the paints out for Colven. I went inside to make a snack for us. After a few mintues he came in, grabbed my hand and brought me outside. He had moved all of the paints and the paper onto the table and all of the tomatoes onto the easel.
"No paint mama, mae-toes" and nodded yes.

Priorities of a toddler :)

What a cute story! Did you grow any grape or cherry toms??? My girls just stand in the garden and eat them like they are jelly beans or something!

Your toms look gorgeous -- ours are FINALLY starting to ripen (other than the grape ones).

I always have to laugh when I see your oak tree growing through your deck, just like mine!

Marlyn we have both types, but all the little tomatoes are still green! COMPLETELY green. In August! WTH???!

I harvested a single golden ping pong ball sized tomato yesterday, and Colven asked for it so I gave it to him and he put the whole thing in his mouth and it was GONE haha. I think it must have tasted good? LOL
