Last year it was blight; this year it was excessive heat that kept blooms from setting. I still have hope.

I looked at your profile and laughed as I read, "The idea of yoga, other people's children."<br /><br />You list Tracy Kidder as one of your favorites. I was at a talk recently and he came in to listen and sat next to Richard Russo. What're the chances of two Pulitzer Prize winners sitting together on a table and swinging their legs like two boys on a log?<br /><br />Sharon againSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-25037085247026007882010-09-03T14:53:59.759-07:002010-09-03T14:53:59.759-07:00Ok, I'm in LOVE.

YOUR WRITING IS FRESH, EVOCATIVE, AND TASTY, JUST LIKE THE BEST HOMEGROWN FOODS.<br /><br />I don't want your head to swell to the size of a melon, but you deserve a pat on the back. The descriptions of the jowly, disheveled heirlooms (sounded too much like me in my apron right now), but I laughed out loud.<br /><br />I'd tell you that you SHOULD be writing for a magazine, but they're disappearing by the day. So stick to it and express yourself for all of us.<br /><br />Happy canning,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-63093499163894729192010-08-30T05:36:29.107-07:002010-08-30T05:36:29.107-07:00It doesn't matter that I read the same posts o...It doesn't matter that I read the same posts over and over.

I have exactly three green tomatoes on one five foot plant in a pot. But it's still so satisfying to grow a tomato, isn't it. And San Marzano's in the yard! It makes my mouth water.

Guess I've been too busy bothering people at the grocery store :) I think we'll do one last summer PYO this weekend for peaches and blackberries. My first reaction is to make jam, which we don't really eat that much of...so I've been freezing a good bit. And already planning my garden for next year! <br /><br />ColleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6567570657415441093.post-13708341184907097312010-08-19T22:10:26.188-07:002010-08-19T22:10:26.188-07:00Tammy - I wish I could reach through the computer...Tammy - I wish I could reach through the computer and hand a spoonful of sauce to you but thank you for imagining with me in words.
