Happy Earth Day!- Stopping by Star Provisions for take-out lunch and perusing the organic produce on display out front at the farm stand. Heirloom tomatoes already! The proprietor says a farmer in Athens, Georgia grows them in a greenhouse.
- As the cool guy writes down my order, I remark that The Tijuana Brass song "A Taste of Honey" that's playing in the background makes me think of my father, who had all their albums. Cool guy: "Here comes the best part! Wait for it, wait for it....there!" He drums along with the bass drum beat with his palm.
- Having lunch in my cubicle and ordering a Tijuana Brass CD, with a purple tomato on my desk for decoration (and later eating.) A good lunch hour. :)
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

A cool guy selling heirloom tomatoes. Can it get any better? So a Cherokee Purple is sitting on your desk, wonderful. You remind me to send my check for the Summer CSA. Have a Happy Easter.
Not just a "good" lunch hour, an AMAZING lunch hour.
ooooh (Purple tomato.) How cool is that!?
I've never seen purple tomatoes!
Have a wonderful weekend Lynn!
Mmmm...tomatoes!!!
Now, I'm in the mood from some of these, fresh and tasty (although I think it will be a while for that, here!).
The tomatoes are gorgeous. I bet they taste as awesome as they look.
I love that song - I'll be humming it all day now thanks to you and your Dad. :) I have two of their albums (my mother adored them and listened to them all the time).
Have a Happy Easter, Lynn.
Sounds like a good lunch... "A Taste of Honey" is a tune I remember from my childhood
I love how you can describe a moment and take us right there with you...with sights, smells and sounds.
You bet I'm going to search for that song on YouTube. I'm curious now.
If only I could find a purple tomato...:)
NOM! I just ate a huge dinner but as usual, your blog makes me hungry. I love heirloom tomatoes.
Happy EarthDay to you too! N a Happy Easter time!
I never heard Tijuana Brass on that tune- but remenber the Beatles Version of it.
Will you be walking to their CD?
I've never had a purple tomatoe before. How novel! It can substitute as an Easter egg...
(Happy Aster too!, n a great Week-end)
Everyone -
Here's a delightful video of The Tijuana Brass playing A Taste of Honey on the Beach. Ily mentioned looking for a video on You Tube and there was a really great one!

Heirloom tomatoes do seem to come in a variety of colors - I'm sure the flavors vary, but I don't really know. :) I'm just happy to have tomatoes so early.

I might just load that up on my ipod when it comes. Those albums are still at the house, I think (house is for sale and sadly, mostly empty.) I might see if I get them.
I hope your Easter is happy, too.
Heirloom Tomatoes. What a nice label. Red, and the shape. That's new to me. Seems like a wonderful lunch hour.
