I'm really not stalking you.

Dear Person who is growing tomatoes near Matt's school;

I like to grow tomatoes too, and this year its been hard to get some good ones. What with fighting the squirrels, chipmunks and birds, its hard to harvest any without little teeth or beak marks on them. The drought and heat has been bad too.

My tomatoes don't like the weather much this year. Yours, though, seem to be doing really well. As a matter of fact, your seem to be full of red, ripe, juicy tomatoes. Its too bad you don't seem to notice this bountiful harvest. I know they are growing on the opposite side of your chain link fence from your yard, but really, they are nice tomatoes and deserve attention too.

I have watched these tomatoes grow every day since school started, and they have turned out dandy. If they were mine, they would have been BLTs a week ago.

The vines are turning brown now and those tomatoes are going to waste. What is wrong with you people? Get out there and pick those tomatoes already.

Sincerely,
Deanna
