this is my backyard
I was taking pictures for an something entirely unrelated the day before yesterday, and I turned around and was smacked in the face by this view. I’ve been meaning to take a picture for you guys, and it seemed like an appropriate time. Having lived so close to people for the past couple of years, I’d forgotten how nice it is to be out in the country.
On a completely unrelated note, my sister Erika posted this picture of Dawn and me, and she even called me fashionable! Thanks, Erika!
Also unrelated: I went to a Toy Story 3 matinee yesterday afternoon and cried like a baby. Such a beautiful movie! It made me want to get out my Cabbage Patch dolls and hug them and dress them up and braid their hair.
fresh cherry tomatoes
Yet another unrelated thing: I visited Granny the day before yesterday and she told me to help myself to her cherry tomatoes, which she referred to as “tommy toes.” Apparently, someone gave the plants to her and she planted them for the hell of it, but no one over there actually eats them. The cherry tomatoes that I planted didn’t do well at all, so I’m glad that I still have some to eat on salads. These are divine on spinach with goat cheese, garlic croutons, and homemade italian dressing.
