We have blossoms!

I believe I have written about our wonderful tomato plants Shane has managed to grow on our back porch. If I haven't I apologize, as they are a very big part of our lives. They take a lot of time and attention- constant moving, in and out of the sun, and rain (as we seem to love nasty afternoon thunder and sheeting rain storms here in Boston).

We were at the reunion last weekend and were a little startled to hear from Aunt Patty and Uncle Matt that both of their tomato plants already had blossoms on them... You can imagine the panic that ran through our veins when we looked at each other and realized not one of our 6 tomato children had blossoms on them yet! We quickly interrogated Patty and Matt and learned that they had planted their tomatoes at least 2 weeks before we did. So, our panic subsided, at least for two more weeks. To our surprise and utter joy, we came home last night to find two of our beautiful tomato plants had flowers. And to prove it, of course, we took a picture!
