Hot days-juicy tomatoes

Gen 1:12  The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Some people say, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” I’ve also heard, “Even a blind hawk finds an acorn now and then.” It’s just a way of looking on the bright side, a way to express the concept that, at least in our day and time, hardly ever is there anything all good or all bad.

Nearly everyone I speak to these days has something to say about the weather, “Hot!” Is how they describe it, and I agree! On the other hand, I noticed how those little tomato plants that Tammy set out near the chicken pen have exploded. Wow! In just a day or two these plants are like twice the size and now one of the plants has clusters of small tomatoes on it.

I have to tell you, they have my mouth watering! Just imagine these things in a salad. We’re talking vine ripened! These things will taste like real tomatoes! However, remember how we established earlier that the cloud comes with the silver lining and the silver lining comes with the cloud? That’s right, I have to wait till the tomatoes mature and while I’m at it, keep the deer away, along with the many smaller pests that would love to beat me to the dinner table.  We could meet up shopping at the local farmer’s market!
