My wife's mother died unexpectedly 2 weeks ago. She had a couple tomato plants around her house in town. They are really producing well and since wife and I don't garden we have been picking them and bringing them home to use. Today wife made a batch of chili with some of the tomatoes and some of our fresh ground pork. I'm eating some as I wright this and I don't have to tell you what a difference the fresh tomatoes make verses store bought cans. I don't know why I'm writing this. Maybe because I am sad for my wife's loss and I want to brag her up a little. I just came in from harvesting corn and I haven't had any real food since breakfast so this really hits the spot and it makes me feel good that they are my mother-in-laws tomatoes. No need for anyone to reply, I just had to write this. I'm going to get another bowl of chili. Oh by the way I am the only neighbor around still harvesting corn. I was broke down for 11 days. Three different problems with the 750 Massey. Then with the funeral and spending extra time with my wife..just listening over coffee, I am way behind. But you know what? I'll get done. You just watch this old Belgian honker down. When I have to I can really lean in to it and make the old harness creek.
