The tomatoes are out of control; their out-of-controlness has been confirmed by guests from afar. Constables and Frauenbergers were here with bairn in tow. Three cute kids and six proud parents gathered on the deck with German-themed food made for a great day. We ate pretzels with three kinds of mustard, a German potato salad where goat cheese stands in for mayo as binder, three kinds of wurst, and imported sauerkraut. A great day.
Saturday we took Carter on his first plant tour. I'm bummed it wasn't my plant, but D.G. Yuengling's brewery over in Pottsville was pretty cool. Plus, it was Ryan Smed's birthday and always fun to hand out with them. Afterwards we had some lunch at Maroon's and were on our way home for a quiet evening at home.
Else=the.usual. P&R meeting where budget frustration offset signage elation. Jenelle's been holding down the home front while I fill long hours with work. That included, this week, a triumphant pork chop roast with fig sauce from our own figs. It also included a nice evening hang out with Matt, April, Logan and Taylor digging into the tomato thicket and enjoying what we found. Kids who love gardens are the best.
