Crazy Tomatoes
We have planted three tomatoes plants this year. One plant only made it three days before the landscapers decided it was a plant and weed wacked the poor thing. Another has been growing in a pot on our deck; so far there is one green tomato growing on an extremely long, skinny stem (way taller than 5′5”). The third we planted in the front of the house along with some other flowers and plants. We purchased the final plant at our church “Spring Fling” for $3.00. Check out the growth on this baby.
You can’t even see that we have a wooden planter with flowers underneath the flop over of the tomatoes. The edge of the tomatoes is growing all the way out to the curb. I can’t wait to eat these tomatoes.

As most of you know, we recently just returned from our big summer trip. We we were home about 8 days in July. Together, we drove through 15 states and flew from airports in 5 different states. I attended 2 weddings and 1 family reunion.
The post is titled after my favorite state to drive through. Ohio has it down. Yes, you pay for tolls, but they spend their money wisely on the travel plaza stops. If the Panera, Starbucks, Pizza hut, Burger King did not statisfy me, I could wait until the next stop and get what I wanted there. It was great. Sometimes, I daydream about visiting places that require me to drive through Ohio. That’s a good vacation.
As for states I like to stop in, I’m still partial to Montana.
Things that Scare Us
At night, we’ve noticed huge, scary, gross slugs that come from who knows where and slime around where we take Panther out to relieve herself. And by huge, we mean 6 or 7 inches long and an inch wide. Tim doesn’t like to go out barefoot with the slugs for fear they will slime him or he will accidentally step on one (he never goes out without his shoes anymore)…I’m not much better. They are really gross and apparently, if you ask Panther, they taste disgusting.
I can’t help but wonder what they do. They seem to literally come from no where and don’t make it very far during the night…so my theory is they come out of somewhere, go across the driveway and return. But what are they searching for?
