8/21/07 Tomatoes, Loose Wires and Hummingbirds

We went out this morning to see what the day is going to be like and noticed that we had tomatoes for the picking. About 50 to 60 cherry and grape tomatoes made their way into the colander and I couldn't wait to get them washed so I could start eating. Taking the time to really look at the tomato plants I couldn't help but notice that they don't look as healthy as they once did. The bottom leaves are turning yellow/brown and dying off. We had a few tomatoes with blossom end rot due to too much water I guess so I picked them off and discarded them. I did pick these two pretty ones and will have a half dozen or so more in a few days.

We figured out what was causing our bedroom TV problems, it was nothing more than a loose wire. An easy fix.

While Bob was sitting at the computer today he shot these two pictures of hummingbirds through our day shade.

We made it to the high 90's today but it was more humid than it has been. In this heat we just didn't have the energy to do too much, but that didn't stop us from watching Dan work. Here he is on the tractor leveling out the sites.

All in all it was a pretty much do nothing day. We did venture out for a short drive to the Goodyear Tire store to get a price for two tires for the truck. This is something we have to do before we leave here.

After a dinner of stuffed peppers we settled in for night of TV.
