So Long Tomatoes…

October 24, 2009

Remember these?

Lush, ripe, healthy tomatoes.

Well they now looks like this:

Oh man.  These have seen better days.

The elder adorable was destroyed when I explained it was time to rip out the tomato plants for winter.  “But mom, I love to eat them whenever I want.”  Next year, next year.

So he helped me pull them out and I’m planning to put some tulip bulbs in pronto.

See how clean?  I couldn’t bear to part with these mums yet.  I love their pop of yellow happiness.

Fall is beautiful, but it’s such sweet parting with these dear tomatoes.  And hello, that means winter is coming.

I miss seeing these faces:

Elder adorable…

and younger adorable.

‘Til next year.
