On the feed that comes into my mail in the morning. Cherry tomatoes. Last year I grew mixed colored cherry tomatoes- I had chocolate, orange and yellow on one plant and then the Sungold's and Snow White on other plants. Most of them were given away. I ate a small percentage of them. The chipmunks ate quite a few. The larger tomatoes took so long to ripen here where I live- it wasn't warm enough for them so we ate grocery store tomatoes all Summer and our own tomatoes in September and October.
I am just back from a quick drive into Town to pick up two more library books. I passed a guy running in- well, just his shorts. It's that warm 3 or 4 miles away. Up the road- towards Town where people live (and heat up the atmosphere). But not here. Here I am happy with my corduroy pants and my long sleeved thermal and wool sweater. But I did feel out of place in Town.
I read my new book yesterday. Act Your Age, Eve Brown. The story of the third Brown Sister. It's been a long wait for this third book- which was written during the COVID lock down. But has no mention of that. I think- what is missing is a connection to this third sister. In the first two books, Chloe and Dani were pretty well drawn for the Reader--but this sister only provides boxes of perfectly prepped vegetables for her sister's refrigerator in the previous two books. We know little about her, other than she fails at everything she tries to do..... The book is fine. But it could have been better. The chemistry between the guy and Eve is pretty intense and funny in the beginning but...it seems to fade as the book goes along. Red shows up at the end riding his motorcycle.....and I was so happy to have him back on the page!!!
Anyone out there read this series? Next up is The Other Bennet Sister. Prolonging my reading of Jane Austen type books. And Monday I get to go inside the library. To actually, search the stacks and new fiction for things to read. Be still my heart...........
