In hooky stuff, here's an update to the Farm Menagerie rug. Since the last posting I've finished one horse head and sheep on the side facing you. Am not too impressed with my shabby sheep tho. Perhaps if I outlined it would make it stand out more.
So you don't have to stand on your head, thought I'd flip the photo to show you the other side. On this side the cow and bunny were completed.
And the other thing....am hoping mild weather holds out for more of my prolific volunteer cherry tomatoes to ripen. For my salads I purchase cherry and "Medley" tomatoes. Sometimes there is a spoiled one in the mix so I toss them on the side of the deck for birds, squirrels to eat or, if lucky, for something to sprout in the spring.
This is the first year I've had the yellow 'medley' style tomato grow and have been fortunate to have a few salads with those delicious little fruits. Here is the hearty plant in all it's glory.
And a pic of a whole row that could well have been in one of the packages of 'tomatoes on the vine' packages (when ripe). Can you see them? If not click on the photo to enlarge.
Obviously not all these green delectables will ripen for harvest, but I have a shower curtain to cover them if frost is eminent. I'd like them to last as long as possible. And sadly I didn't water them ~ just imagine what I'd have if I'd cared for them.
Well, back to the hooking frame. Hope you have a great evening everyone. Rain and more wind in the forecast.

You're making great progress on your menagerie. That's quite an impressive volunteer tomato plant. Good luck weaning it through the inevitable cold to come. It would definitely be done here in Nod. We've had frost, freezes and, today, even a sleety/snowy/wind-driven rain (??)
ReplyDeleteRug is lookin’ good. Soon it will be ready for the dreaded binding.
ReplyDeleteYour menagerie is looking mighty fine. I so love yellow tomatoes too. Hope you are able to harvest some before the dreaded frost. Janice
