Our heirloom tomatoes are absolutely cranking this year! Nancy saved all of the seeds from last year and did a fantastic day of meticulously labeling and propagating them. These are some of the big hitters in order of appearance: Paul Robeson, Brandywine (Sudduth's Strain), Japanese Black Trifele, German Pink, Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Gold Medal, and Chocolate Stripes. We split the Gold Medal pictured here for dinner tonight with salt, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was a meal unto itself. (Use the bottom right button to take the slideshow fullscreen).
The flashbulb on the camera fascinated the kittens, so I got some shots of them while I was documenting tomatoes. Again in order of appearance, Opal (our mommy cat), Casper, Chloe, Luna, and Luna with Bailey the Bunny. We've bunny-sat Bailey for the past month. I was a bit hesitant going into it, but Bailey is a joy to be around. He spends his days on our lawn, gratefully munching on our sunflower and rose clippings, and returns to his small hutch at night. Recently, we quadrupled the size of his daytime run, much to his delight. He does laps about once an hour, and then lies down winded for 15-20 minutes. The kittens are likewise enthralled with Bailey, and he with them.
