tomatoes

Low of 31 degrees F tonight. After that, at least two more weeks above freezing. I have picked everything that is ripe enough. There are still some orange and many full-size green Roma-type tomatoes. Would you pick everything and call it a summer, or cover and hope?

speaking of tomatoes

Newt loves tomatoes. I wanted a picture of him eating a tomato, so the last time he picked one, I took it away:

And then gave it back. But the taking-away part worried him enough that he had to devour the whole thing in two bites:


(That foot walking away looks Seussian!)

"I am the rat terrier
Who will eat anything
I eat stuff
Like it's my job
And if you ask me
If I ate anything
I'll just tell you
That I eat anything."
