Ben by Daniel Shelton for August 06, 2018

We’ll trade you. It’s rained here every day for the past month.

Precious little rain. Watering doesn’t help much. My tomatoes are more cherry than normal size. Cool weather(upper 80s) for a week helped. Heat back again.Sassafras and tulip poplar leaves are dropping so fall and cooler temps are on the way – none too soon.

Too much of a buzzkill, Ben.

Ya’ know, Pea Tomatoes would go well in Egg Salad.

I would even try them in Chicken Salad.

I’m not going to say anything. Seems like we’re the only ones who have had a reasonable summer this year. (…probably pay for it with an outrageous winter)

The other day I passed by an apartment building with a balcony garden being mobbed by crows. They were swooping in and taking all the cherry tomatoes, ripe or not. There were probably none left by sundown!
