Storms hung out all day, then the sun finally broke through as it was setting. I stood looking out my back door to the east as the sun was lighting the trees.
The forecast was for frost. So I went out in the cold wind and gathered my tomatoes. This is not all of them. As they ripen I am making sauce and freezing batches for winter soups and stews. The frost did not make it and the tomatoes continue to grow on the bushes. Everyday I gather more. Most of them are cherry tomatoes and I am forcing cupfuls on total strangers.
The skeleton bride is filling in for me at the book table while I process tomatoes and wait for Jack Frost.
Love that skeleton bride. That's anovel approach :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I thought those krazy kampers had prematurely aged you!
ReplyDeleteThose cherry tomatos are real little buggers, aren't they. Even if I did not plant them they came up anyway, volunteers carrying on and forcing me to find homes or waste them.
