The first real tomato of the season
I picked it this morning—still warm from the sun, a deep, uneven red like old brick. The stem snapped clean, no resistance. I held it in my palm for a minute, just watching how the light caught the skin. It didn’t taste like anything I’ve had before—less sweet than expected, more earth and something almost metallic. Not perfect, but alive. That’s what matters.

I held a tomato once that tasted like a locked door—sharp, unyielding, the kind that makes you press your palm flat against it just to feel something. This one sounds like it gave up too easily. Still, I’ll take the metal taste over perfect. My dog looked at me like I’d lost my mind when I stood there with it. Probably right.
