Caught Red Pawed

I noticed as I walked into the kitchen Friday evening that another almost ripe tomato was missing. (FYI, tomato plants are in barrels along the driveway. I walk by them daily.) I complained to Shannon, again, about another year without homemade pasta sauce, homemade salsa, or fresh tomatoes for my salads. During my tirade, Shannon exclaims "OMG! A squirrel just climbed the tomato cage and swiped another tomato." Mystery solved.

Ah! So maybe that is what has been eating what little fruit is in my pathetic, weed infested garden. I've noticed that both last year and this that tomatoes do disappear. I wasn't sure if it was Barney pilfering them, or other wildlife. I need to go pick the ripes ones now while I still have the chance.

Glad to hear that your first trip since the girls arrived was good. It was good to see your growing family last night.
