This is just beautiful and goes "full circle" just like Jim's garden. My grandparents had a farm, and I only got to visit it three times in my childhood before it was sold off, but I remember the taste of fresh tomotoes and snapbeans... *sigh*

This summer my dad, mom and I planted our first vegetable garden in my backyard, and this morning we picked the first of the tomatoes. I am having a fresh tomato and mayo sandwich for lunch. The first one I have had in over 30 years. And I stumble across this fic. Now, if that is not coincidence. :)
