City girl meets country plant

As I watered my two plants earlier this week, I noticed something *gasp* GROWING on the tomato plant.  Wondering what it was, I leaned in for a closer inspection and saw this:

Mercy me, it's a tiny green tomato!  I shall name it Tom.

I can't believe it.  I'm so excited (and hungry)! Oh Tom, how long will it take you to ripen?
 

Can you see the similarities?

Today we spotted some pansies growing in the ground.

Is it just me, or do these flowers look really grouchy? 

Their grumpy flower faces also reminded me of....

Grr-- I'm no pansy!

Is this another instance of art imitating nature?

Like daddy

like doggie.

Isn't it funny how dog and owner start looking alike?

I think I grew bigger...

since yesterday!

I'm starting my 27th week.  Time is quickly passing by...

Eat your....whites?

I've always been tempted to buy the white asparagus in the store.  This week they were on sale, so I brought a bunch home to try out.

Hello!  I taste like a milder version of my green brethren.  Also, I'm white because farmers deprived me of sunlight.

Roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper, they were delicious!
