Default Got a mess in front of my house!

Daughter and I were stooging it today. Went shopping at Albertsons, Target
and Costco. Mostly got stuff for the food back at Albertsons but did get
some things for the pasta salad that I'll make on Sat. Was hoping that
Costco would still have the assorted little grape and cherry tomatoes. They
did! Also picked up a big container of cherries and a fruit platter for
husband.

Got home. Daughter opened the back of the van and shrieked! Apparently the
bag had toppled. A few cherries fell to the driveway along with all of the
tomatoes! We picked up all of the tomatoes that we could easily reach but a
few were under the van. Since the driveway is on a slight slant, those
eventually rolled near the sidewalk. We opted just to leave the cherries
there because I know the birds love them and we have quite a few birds in
the front yard. I think they have nests there.

Picked up the fruit platter and tomatoes and walked them into the house.
Then I could feel the front of my shirt getting wetter and wetter. Fruit
platter was upside down and I was doused with melon juice. So while I was
cleaning up inside the house, daughter came in, laughing her head off. It's
a nice day, we're across the street from a park and people are always
walking their dogs out there. She said people gave her the funniest looks
when they say the produce all over. We do have a cherry tree so they were
probably thinking it was a bit early for those.
