500.8 pounds of tomatoes this year!
I made one last visit to the tomatoes. I promised myself to not even think about getting more harvested, and just pull the darn plants. I put the last of the grape tomatoes into the dehydrator, and pulled some green tomatoes. Even the green tomatoes are starting to look bad, so I'm ready to get them pulled. I pulled one plant and stake today. It's a measly start on 100-some plants, ha ha! The grand total of our tomato harvest, as of yesterday, was 500.8#!
I told the kids I'll not do that again. They all laughed at me.

Weekend Fun ~ Fall Foilage ~ Flowers
I took this photo as a light rain was ending. You can see some of the trees are already turning to beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows. Hubby and I saw the most beautiful fall colors last night. We took off on a ride along a river, and the colors were fantastic. I was on the back of the Harley, hence no photos (very curvy road).
Our weekend started out with a funeral visitation about 40 minutes from home. Hubby was needing some much needed road therapy and insisted we ride the Harley. I was hesitant, due to the fact would could not wear nice "dress" clothing, but we went. It was at night, so he spontaneously booked a room in a historical hotel. I did not have my camera, so the photos are a bit unfocused (taken with my phone).
