I like seeing what you're harvesting and cooking. <br />We have the Chicken's door on a timer but as these days it gets dark earlier, sometimes it needs adjusting. Also, Jim moves the tractor every Saturday and its best to check to make sure the door still closes that night. <br />Sammiemy alabama bears homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03475016248681552587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-86069302082953087032020-10-04T20:01:14.163-04:002020-10-04T20:01:14.163-04:00Tomato pie sounds delicious.Tomato pie sounds delicious.Bonnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052974547161586063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-28829828668697649502020-10-04T19:13:12.632-04:002020-10-04T19:13:12.632-04:00I never tire of tomato posts; they are like food p...I never tire of tomato posts; they are like food porn to me.

We usually get home-grown delicious tomatoes from our relatives out of state, but can't now because of the pandemic. The ones we picked up at the farmers markets were a real disappointment.
