The Lighter Side....
First, count the tomatoes. Figure one small can per dozen; one large can per 3-dozen. Go to the store. Buy correct size can of paint, color: red. Buy appropriate sized paint brush. Note: If you plan to paint on eyes, nose, etc., small brushes and contrasting color of paint is best. Return home and line up your tomatoes, just like Eggs at Easter time. Have fun!
