Just Got Back

from Father's Day festivities. It was fairly low key, really. My dad got a new grill, so we grilled.


As such, I decided that it was ok to go with a cliché of a present and went with grill tools. Normally, I'd try to be a little more inventive, but, well, I wasn't.

I returned to this scene:



That's the packing paper my dad's present came with when it was shipped. The kitties seem to enjoy it. This was the first I had seen Sophie playing in it. Last night (yes, I've left it on my floor that long) Plum was all over it.



I think that maybe I just need to buy a big roll of this stuff.

I'm very excited about my container garden. I already have a few baby tomatoes!!! This is a pair of Amish Paste Tomatoes:


This is my first Old German Tomato. I love the creases in it!


And this is the start of a Cherokee Purple tomato.


I can't wait for them to ripen! I haven't seen any of my brandywines yet, but I think they take longer to mature. The plant does have blooms on it, though.

ok - time to get to work since I haven't done anything academic today.

That is one nice grill!

The kitties are cracking me up! Getting that paper might be a great idea. It would save on cat toys!!!

Glad to see your garden is doing well. :)

It is an awesome grill. It even has a burner on one side! I covet it.

What really makes me laugh is the way the cats use the paper like a slip-n-slide.
