Here is my first tomato of the season.  It’s not quite ready, but should be in a day or two.  In general, my garden is coinciding with my life in metaphorical ways.  I will share my first tomato with my soon to be husband, just a day or two before our marriage.  My potted plants, although not as large and prospering as if I had a larger, more sunny garden space to put them in, are still bearing fruit, and some sort of squash has self seeded itself.  These few weeks I am balancing the elation of my soon to be marriage, and the uncertainty of jobs and career paths.  I have potentially missed an opportunity, which is clouding my otherwise joyful spirit this week.  I am taking my garden as a mentor.  Sometimes nourishing things come unexpectedly, like volunteer squash.  Fruit can be born in adverse environments.  I hope prosperity is in the future, but regardless, I will have my best friend with whom I may share all the first tomatoes of the season.
