The tomato is the world's most popular fruit, or is it a vegetable??? Guess it's labeled as a fruit. Can't wait to have the real thing out of our garden this summer. Yummo!

Where is the only place that the flag flies day and night, is never saluted or ever at half mast???


The Moon! Fascinating? I think so.

Thanks lor, I pretty much classified the tomato as a fruit too, but it really should be a veggie....cuz it's going in my veggie garden. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. *grin*
