Today, I’m grateful for gathering green tomatoes before the frost.
Mornings have indeed been frosty, so it was time to pick what I could and let them ripen indoors. The only question now is who’s going to eat them all when they ripen?! 🙂

Today, I’m grateful for Brandywine beefsteak tomatoes.
Some of the ripening tomatoes in my garden are literally a handful and a half! If I can deter the squirrels long enough, they turn a deep, meaty red. And they’re oh, so sweet!

Today, I’m grateful for small green tomatoes.
With luck and enough care, they’ll become my favorite juicy, red beefsteak tomatoes!

Every August, I look forward to the blooming of the hibiscus at the corner of my front yard, with it’s lunch-plate sized blossoms. It never disappoints!
The Rose of Sharon trees follow suit.
The honey crisp apples begin to ripen and so do the tomatoes!
The Sneeze Weed is in full bloom. . .
the Hydrangea & Zinnias are hanging on. . .
and the Coleus still stands its ground brilliantly. 🙂
