Just thinking how my husband likes homegrown tomatoes and those sandwiches from those tomatoes.Then came up with the idea from John Denver's song...
"Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes" Whenever see them, my thoughts turn to you Home grown potatoes, home grown potatoes Whenever peel them, my thoughts turn so blue "That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday" Where freedom from mundane chores fade, fade Like washing human made clothes come wash day No more will life be feelings masquerade "Where sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy" Sunny day that I could just spend with you Both free from pain we're no longer snappy In the warm sunshine we our love renew "In rocky catheral that reach to the sky" "Let me kiss you,""Then close your eyes". John Denver's Stanza 1:"Home Grown Tomatoes" Stanza 2: "Take Me Home, Country Roads" Stanza 3: "Sunshine On My Shoulders" Stanza 4: Line 1, "The Eagle And The Hawk" Line 2, Two lines from:"Leaving, On A Jet Plane" Inspired by Tracie's contest "Sing A Song For Me"
