1. I have a million dollar view right outside, and sliding glass doors I can leave wide open if I want

2. My dog is awesome, she is beautiful, smells good, doesn't shed gobs of hair, is super athletic and fit enough to go mountain biking with me. AND, she can go off leash, recall, heel, etc and generally display to the rest of the world what an intelligent, well trained dog looks like.

3. I am about to have a tomato problem. I planted 8 plants in wine barrels, and now they are all taller than me and spilling out of their cages, crop is ripening fast, and despite eating several a day, I am about to be swimming in them. I think a party is in order.

I am about to have a tomato problem.

I wish I lived near you! I don't have a garden this year, so my tomato problem is that I need to get myself to a farmer's market, and they still won't taste as good as home grown ones.

Congrats on your green thumb!!!
