I've got two tomato related announcements this evening.
First, I managed to can six quarts of tomato sauce this evening. Woot!! And I was worried I wouldn't get anything this year. Now I've got some pints of diced tomatoes from last week and now some sauce.
Second- I got an email at work this afternoon. It seems that there is going to be a 'tomato tasting' at work on Friday. There are enough gardeners excited about their tomatoes that someone has planned a taste and compare session over lunch. I'll have to take a few different tomatoes to share. It should be fun.
In non tomato news... we had another two eggs this afternoon. I went out after work and Buffy and Micah were sharing the nest box. Eddie was also quite interested in what they were doing and trying to join them so I don't think it will be long before she joins the fun.
And at work today I officially signed and approved the change of status for my job. I am now, as of Sept 1, only employed 90%. Soon....
You're gonna love 90%, those two days a month make all the difference. I'm on 90% at the U and between my and my husband's schedule our son gets nearly a whole week of mommy/daddy time every other week.
