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.

Just started reading your blog regularly. Funny, I was going to write in yesterday and recommend the Trader Joe’s pita chips. Will be looking for the Stacy’s at Costco…haven’t tried those yet. Anyway, just wanted to write in and tell you how much I admire your upbeat attitude and your ability to raise 3 kids WHILE keeping up your knitting. You go girl!!!

I LOVE Trader Joe’s. My kids love TJ’s, my DH doesn’t think so highly of it. He didn’t like the dishsoap. My goodness.
Yeah, tomatoes. Finally a little sun is coming our way so you can get some rippened.
Good knitting to you…

Oh my gosh, those Pita Chips are so good… I may have to run out and buy some! I wish I could grow tomatoes – actually anything really. I tried starting a garden at my old house, but I seem to have a brown thumb…

I loved Trader Joe’s while we lived in the US. I especially loved their peanut butter filled pretzels 🙂 They also were carrying really good bread. I really miss that store!
Best wishes from Germany

I am so jealous! I planted my first tomato plant and it is too freaking hot here to grow tomatoes in the summer. Who knew?
