Question

For as long as I can remember, Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end.

She calls me to her side. kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.
