Fist Ripe Red Tomato

It looks like most of the tomatoes will be ripe around the same time within the next couple weeks. This one was under some greener ones. My complexion will be irritated the next couple weeks too but I can't resist a tomato sandwich with mayo, salt and onion powder....wah! Other things are doing well too but it looks like I'll have to thin the chinese cabbage more. Lettuce round two will be starting probably next week just in time for tomatoes and any other veggies from kind hearted people who have too many.
There's four days left of the work week then I'm off for ten days - four of which I'll be heading to Riviere Ouelle Canada with my brother Normand and possibly my daughter. It's going to be my mother's 84th birthday on the 29th, so we'll be there for that and the wedding of cousin Sarah too.
I didn't get the arbor project completed, though I did buy the wood and started trying to pre-drill and screw it together. Alas, I found I was about two hands short of able. I later called on friend Wally to come with a nail gun later this week so we can tack it together, then drill and screw it solidly....there're other projects to do during my time off but I figure it's worth doing the outside ones while there's good weather.
I'm getting a call in from a Tom A. To - gotta go now.....
