I have tomatoes!

FINALLY! I started my tomato season late, so I’m hoping they’ll ripen in time, but I’ve got babies! This is my Roma tomato plant. It’s in a very big pot on the deck and Abner has been grazing on it. My Cherry Tomato plant is in a smaller pot on the picnic table, and it looks luscious. No tomatoes yet though. That little Roma you see is less than half the size of my pinky finger.

And, look what I found!

They’re good, but they’re $2 for a 6 oz bag. As opposed to Stacy’s at Costco (when they feel like carrying them) that are $5 for an 18 oz bag. But, there was a need, so I indulged. I bought 2.

I went to my spine doctor yesterday (car accident crap never ends), so I got in some knitting time. My doctor calls me “his knitter”. He commented last time that he never sees me with the same project twice. Quite frankly, I’m amazed he noticed. He’s pretty gruff, and while he can turn the charm on and off faster than Tom Cruise, he frequently doesn’t do so at the appropriate time. I’m guessing he didn’t make it to class the day they discussed bedside manner.

It really doesn’t matter how many blasted rows I knit, I still have just UNDER 7 inches.
