Xmas Tomatoes !


Look at this ........we just picked these tomatoes and ,if you can read my little Xmas countdown board , there are only 21 days until Christmas ! We've occasionally harvested tomatoes in the first part of November, but certainly never in December ! The plants of course are long gone......brown, shriveled and dead, but the little tomatoes just hang on to the vines and eventually turn red. Very strange weather so far this Fall/Winter season.
Just as I was settling in to watch a little football and nurse along my llama injured leg.......I got a phone call from Boyce. Tess had fallen up on their ranch ,broken her wrist and was on her way into surgery !! It was the same wrist she'd broken in Thailand and if she was going to break something that wrist was a good thing to break as it was never set right in Thailand and had given her trouble ever since. Still.......no fun to break a wrist !!! They inserted some pins to hold all the pieces in place and hopefully it will heal well and be better than ever.
Yesterday I spent the day with Molly looking at houses. She hopes to buy one soon to take advantage of the low prices and great interest rates. She's been pre-approved for a loan and so is good to go. She found a sweet little house up in Colfax that she loves......so after work tomorrow she'll take another look with Ross and maybe think about an offer !
Still no rain or cold weather in the forecast for next week.......guess we'll have to grin and bear this great tomato weather !
