First tomato

We have our first tomato!

Yum!

It’s a Silvery Fir tomato, and I haven’t tasted it yet.  It’s resting on the windowsill for tomorrow’s dinner!

Front yard garden

I don’t often talk about our front yard because it’s mostly decorative, overrun with lilies, and, frankly, I don’t go out there much since we live on such a busy street, but here are a few pictures.

The rose of sharon, only a few years old, is huge and happy

Living room decor
