But the real highlight of returning home was the surprise inside a card from my Aunt Betty that was waiting for us in the mailbox. Inside her card was a little bag full of Anna Russian tomato seeds, saved from her Northern Idaho garden! I'm not ashamed to admit that the sole reason I unpacked the laptop as quickly as I did after reading her letter was to Google "Anna Russian tomato." Anna Russian is an early, pink-red oxheart-shaped tomato. It sounds like it's not unreasonable to see 1 lb. fruit on these tomato plants! They were a huge hit with my aunt's co-workers and friends last year, which prompted her to save some of the seeds. I will not be wasting any time getting a few of these tomatoes going under the lights! They will make a nice addition to the tomatoes I've already selected for this year's garden.
Sweet: [swēt] adj. Desirable, gratifying, or satisfying. Domesticity: [Do-mes-tic-i-ty] n. 1. Life as it is lived at home; 2. Fondness for home life.
