It's raining. I wish we would have received a bit more of this earlier in the summer. I'm not fond of dancing with sprinklers.

It has become glaringly apparent that if I want to can tomatoes this year, I'm going to have to purchase some ripe tomatoes from one of the local farmers. My own tomatoes remain stubbornly and persistently green. I put out the call last night and got an immediate response. HTP and I are going to pick up a bushel of tomatoes this afternoon. Depending upon what they look like, I may end up peeling and canning tomatoes for the rest of the day and night. I decided to purchase only one bushel of tomatoes this year since I still have some canned tomatoes from last summer though not enough to last us through an Arizona winter. As for my green tomatoes? Waste not, want not.
