The Last of the Season’s Tomato Harvest

You get a pang when you pick the last of the season’s tomatoes (well we picked them just before that first freezing night — was it last week?).  They languished all this time in two bags.  I sorted them out finally today, after removing all the dried out vines.  (And what a mess they were!)
Even now, so late in the season, they’re so green and red — like jewels, like fat, green Peridots, and plump Oxblood Corals, and rich red-orange Chalcedonies, and Fire Opals, and Carnelians.
Gosh, I’m waxing gemmy!
