When we got home after 2 weeks on vacation, we had 2 ripe tomatoes! Yay! They were very yummy, especially with basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If I can prevent the blight from killing the tomato plant, (and the deer from eating the tomatoes) we might have more in the next few days.
The rest of the house was less productive. The lawn was a jungle, the sunflower had died. The fish were alive, but the water had gotten dangerously low because of evaporation---almost below the level of the pump, which would have been bad. The yellow fish appears to have broken something, she's a bit misshapen now (a humpback? I don't know). The ants found their way under the kitchen table. There are moths living in our pantry. I haven't checked the compost pile, which I need to do tomorrow. Things tend to disintegrate when you're gone, but they're slowly coming together again.
Everything except for the laundry to be folded pile, which is glowering at me and reproaching me for writing blog posts instead of folding. The longer I put it off, the harder it is to start folding... Ah, I can always do it tomorrow, right? (and if I just wait long enough, we will wear all the clothes from it and I won't have to fold any at all, right?)
