Tomatonado.

8-18-13 VERMONT: Judy did it again. Another acclaimed dinner party, in attendance: Pam and Angel, new roadsters, Steve and Diana, Katie and Andy, Roger and Ann, Ned and Lou, Donna and Bruce and us. The weather cooperated enough so the deck was in play as well as the house. Last night we did an anniversary dinner at Elixir in WRJ, and tonight we go to the BBQ in Thetford Center with Ken and Jane.

Today was the first day when we picked tomatoes while there were still uneaten tomatoes in the kitchen. We now have one large bowl full. Thus begins tomato season—tomato pies, gazpacho, BLT’s, tomato sandwiches and then they go in the freezer, along with the gallons of blueberries from the last few weeks.

New blooms: white lobelia, white-star clematis, pearly everlasting.


Tomato storm begins.

Tomato with tomatoes.
