view from the outside

Our backyard in general invites conversation with our neighbors and their friends. This is the view from the back gate.

We regularly have both adults and kids hanging over the fence or standing at the back gate pointing and asking questions.

I handed one of the adult spectators an orange cherry tomato from Juju's plant. "I can't just like eat this can I?" he insisted incredulously. I popped another on in my mouth and nodded. You would have thought I had handed him a grasshopper. He just kind of stared at it before finally giving it a tentative nibblet. "It is so sweet!" he said swallowing the tiny fruit.

My favorite question though is "Don't you need a rooster to get eggs?"
