After a long break while I traveled and celebrated my anniversary, I'm back and blogging again. over the next few days I'll try to catch up on all my activities.

But first let me give a garden update. We have our first tomatoes finally! Brooklynne counted seventeen yesterday. The only down side is that they will probably ripen while we are gone on our backpacking trip. Last summer we had a large crop of small green tomatoes when we moved from Montana to DC, and we didn't get to eat any of them. So this year we hope the vines will continue to produce after we get back or I will have to consider what I've done to earn such a sad tomato curse. Any one want to harvest our tomatoes while we're gone?
