Fresh Tomatoes!
By Beth Beutler

¹     I love to visit my grandparents. They live out in the country. I live in the city. Even though I enjoy the city for the most part, sometimes it gets too busy. Grandma and Grandpa live on a small farm that is very peaceful. They have a few chickens, two goats, a dog, and several cats. They also have a big garden.

²     Grandma and Grandpa love to garden. It's not unusual for them to spend two hours a day weeding, watering, and picking vegetables. Whenever I visit, I end up helping them, but I don't mind.

³     We left early this morning to head out to the farm. Finally we arrived!

⁴     "Hi, Grandpa!"

⁵     "Hi, Sam! How are you today?" Grandpa met me as I walked up the driveway and gave me a big bear hug.

⁶     Grandma kissed my mom. "How are you, sweetie?"

⁷     Mom and Grandma began to talk and head into the house.

⁸     "Let's leave the girls to themselves," Grandpa suggested. "Have I got something to show you!"

⁹     I was excited as we headed over to the garden. Grandpa went to the tomato patch.
