Now, what to do with those toe-may-ters?

At Blooming Glen last week, cherry tomatoes were pick-your-own. Avery has very little love for tomatoes; he likes sauces, salsas and pico de gallo, but won't touch them plain. Given that, he was wondering what we would do with all of them:

Of course, because they are cherry tomatoes, pico de gallo and sauce just seemed a bit labor intensive. (Not so for the larger ones!) While Jase and I used them in salads and as snacks, Avery was left to his own devices. Thankfully, he came up with something:


An untraditional use of cherry tomatoes, yes. But acceptable :) Or should that be, 8-)

Our kitties are Interior Decorators

Tonight, while I tried my hand at jarring tomatoes, Avery played catch in his newly acquired football gear, and Jason listed some comic books.

And the kitties created a new centerpiece for the dining table:

Thanks, kitties. It looks great!

Uuum, yeah. I think we can safely assume that these puppies daddy is a small horse.

We love you, super pooches! Thank you for all the joy, slober, and cuddles you've given us. We miss and love you!

We were blessed to witness Miss Cinder Bear give birth to six beautifully perfect puppies. Happy birthday, little super pooches!
