When it rains, it pours.

Isn’t that the old saying? It’s certainly true in my neck of the woods. We went months without significant rainfall, but out of nowhere, we got three days of nonstop rain. It was great! We definitely needed it. 

But it presented a significant problem for me. 

I still have a bunch of green tomatoes out there. I knew if I left them, they would all split open with all of this rain and rot on the vine. So, in the midst of a deluge, I went out and picked every last tomato I had growing. They’re now drying off on layers of crumpled newspaper while I decide what I’m going to do with them all. Luckily, I’ve got plenty of options.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the Rusk County Lighthouse Shelters the other day. Your support was greatly appreciated.
