the church of the tomato sandwich

the more of them you eat, the more god loves you! yay! and if you only eat one, god loves you just as much! perfection!
This particular prayer was made on Jim Thompson's homemade bread, with a tomato from Scott Minor's garden, name unknown so we'll refer to as the 'big yellow fella', with Duke's mayo, salt and pepper. Heavenly.

Bud can fix anything with a toothpick

Bud is the real farmer at the River Farm, raising cows and hay. He has his own farm next door but likes his cows to taste the sweet grasses of ours. Those mountain cows, mammoth dears, so agile on those steep Appalachian slopes. I admire their grace in the face of gravity.
The rest of us are gardeners, beekeepers, river farmers, bonfire farmers and keen observationists.
