I couldn't be there, so a good friend went and shopped in my stead. She brought these home. Love the shapes!

1. Curiously serene images

I like contemplating why I get that. No conclusion yet.

They certainly aren't classically beautiful. But, yes, the flavor is amazing.

11. August was fresh tomato month. The woman who used to do my

mom's lawn and garden would bring some kids over to pick some for their families. My mom had 4 big tomato plants and at their height they generated too many tomatoes. We could not eat them all.

12. These are heirloom tomatoes.

They've been in the family for generations.

14. That they are, my dear Lionel! Not so sure about your second sentence, though.

13. Beautiful photos, esp. the top one.

Now I miss my fresh garden tomatoes even more!

15. Aw, thank you so much for your lovely comments! But I'm sad with you 'cause it's winter now.
