Tomatoes are Here!


That glorious season is coming, when the tomatoes come in every day, and eating one over the sink is a beautiful pleasure. I did not take a picture of it, but my first "Japanese Black Trifele" came in. It was brick red on the bottom, with greenish-purple on the top when ripe. Weird looking, good tasting. The Sungolds are still coming on strong, and the Arkansas Travelers are starting to ripen.
Not only that, but the weather has cooled! We're going without AC in JULY! In Tennessee! Miracles do happen!
I rejoice. The death of the cat was sad, but she died "with her boots on", so to speak, defending her turf. She would probably rather go that way than by a lingering illness and repeated vet visits. The yard is even quieter now, but the kingdom still grows, and life goes on.
