Friday Egg on Sunday

Chicken egg pysanka with blue poppy design

Oops!  I thought I had scheduled this post for Friday, but I need to learn more about scheduling because it did not post.  We just got back from a weekend in the hill country, so here is the belated but heartfelt Friday Egg!

Another rainy day garden, this time with blue poppies!  I am really enjoying this design. Blue poppies for this chicken egg, with a lovely olive acid green for the stems and a dark gray background. Poppies in the rain.

Our first tomato!


Isn't it pretty?  This is the first tomato of the season from our heirloom tomato plants that we bought from a vendor at the Hope Farmer's Market.  Tastes just like a tomato should, with that lovely sweet and savory homegrown flavor.  Heaven with sea salt.  We may have to have a tomato party because at last count, we had over one hundred green tomatoes.  I live in fear of squirrels now.  Does anyone know if the flavor is as good if you take a tomato off the plant while it is still half green?
