Last nights storm was so loud!. The dogs tried once again to climb under the furniture. The wind was high and the lightening endless. But I am over worrying about them. It is always a surprise when the storms roll in after a hot day of work out under the sun. But very quickly they have become the norm. Almost every evening they roll in.
It is going to be this kind of summer.
Txiki is almost as big as her mother.
Boo looks wistfully at this marooned ruined frisbee every day – waiting for one of these passing storms to unleash it. So far he has had no luck.
Tomatoes. The tomatoes have begun. With all these storms one after the other. The heat and the wet and the humidity are bringing in a wonderful crop of tomatoes – already the sauce pot is underway. They split when it is this wet but we can make sauce from split tomatoes. And we are on the watch for all those nasty humidity related diseases (already the zuchinni plants have bit the dust) but so far so good for the tomatoes.
Aren’t they beautiful. I love tomatoes. We do not buy them all year – waiting. We have started picking sweetcorn too. Soon I will be making the sweetcorn relish – my favourite!
I hope you have a lovely day.
Love celi.

Your Tomatoes are beautiful I’m still waiting for mine to do something. We had a couple of blossoms but a storm blew them off and it’s been awhile but still no progress. I hope Boo gets his frisbee soon, it’s so hard to have patience for something when it’s right in front of you. Have a nice day on the farm☺
jealous of your tomatoes- but not your weather! Take care!
My purple cherokee is just now starting to ripen…yummy!

We had quite a heavy storm last night, lots of lightning, rolling thunder and it rained so hard it was impossible to see anything through the windows, but after it finally stormed away we had lovely rays from the sunset and a part of a rainbow. Smoky was jammed behind the toilet shaking like mad and chewed the water supply line (again – wet mess) in his efforts to get even further behind the porcelain throne and “safety”. Tis gorgeous today tho and the corn I planted in a big flower pot is actually starting to tassel.
OH NO! That poor dog – chewing the water line is pretty dramatic.. c
He has always been very dramatic. My spouse came downstairs one morning and couldn’t find Smoky. He had climbed up into the soffit above the kitchen cabinets to hide from an overnight thunderstorm. We had plastic panels in the ceiling he’d fallen at least once trying to cross them (he weighs about 45 pounds) and getting the crazy animal down was a project. He’s chewed at least 4 water supply lines in his lifetime, destroyed the wall behind the toilet in the powder room at the house we used to live in and shredded various boxes, books and other miscellaneous items. I wish ther was a way to ease his terror.
Sounds like you’re getting our monsoons. We’re very dry this year. Enjoy!
They sure are beautiful! We had another rain soaked night ..
It is 99 degrees F and parched here. We have a chance of rain later this week, fingers crossed. Tomatoes looks delicious. I can just imagine the sauce…yum.
I hope you get some rain – that sounds so hot! c
Nothing like summer tomatoes! Those look like beauties
Looking fantastic! Our tomatoes are all still green- just waiting now 🙂 happy growing
Beautiful tomatoes! Nothing like tomatoes straight from the garden.
