We returned home from a morning walk around the neighborhood to find a bag of tomatoes on the front porch. This disproves what I said last week about people having so much produce they can’t give it away — clearly, you can give it away, so long as you leave it on someone’s porch when they aren’t home.
I’m being facetious, of course. My neighbors grow several varieties we don’t, so I’ve been gratefully snacking on tomatoes all day. As a neighborly gesture, I brought them a sack of avacadoes from my Amazing Avacado Sculpture and learned that they’ve been admiring my avocado tree all summer. I had a vision of them sitting in the hot tub, staring up at the avocado tree, coveting my fruit so to speak.
I brought my other neighbors a similar sack of avacadoes and a fresh loaf of sesame-seed sourdough, as a thanks for the tomatoes they didn’t leave on my porch. (I really wish people would leave notes with gifts.)
