Iced coffee and tea are always brewi1 read more »

I am feeling good from my head, tomatoes. I watched my son eat a tomato like most people eat apples. Just snacking out of hand. They are good eats.

I am writing this while the rain continues outside. I did ask for rain, and nothing compares to the positives of natural rain for the crops. Tropical storm Elsa is visiting, and we are getting rain.
