Lookimg yummy, no tomato lost to or touched by animals.
Tomato harvest
Opening a little more sky by some tree trimming
It was a beautiful Sunday. The masdive rainfall after the heatwave had cooled the atea down. At 11am i decided to finally do the last serious tree work in the backyard. The maddive oak was starting to encroach our hard fought spot in the sun in tbe back. Three bigger branches had to go.
I spent from 3pm to 6:30pm after careful prep in the tree. Ladder basr ascent, otherwise free climb with securing ropes around the tree. Some parts I had to claw myself up the tree and wished I had optrd for the long pants. Who in his rigjt mind would climb a tree in short pants and sleeves. But the harvest was good some parts of my stacked wall needs readjustments and some of our hedges neef time to regrow. Overall a major success, the tomatos survived unscathed.

Visit to the aquarium
Tomato watch
As this incredibly wet summer progresses, so are our first tomato plants. I think I watered them two or three times since I planted them but their fruit look good, there could be more but the polination with all the wetness did not work so well I guess.
I certainly hope we manage to harvest before the animals do. Siena was suggesting that due to the highbeds only kangoroos would be trouble.
A good omen is that so far there is no blight. I am carefully cutting leaves that are sus’ and the ones close to the ground.
Beach action at Nauset light beach
Today we decided to come for low tide at 3:30pm to our favorite beach. The plan worked beautifully and we are enjoying thr beach and the wavrs, bodyboarding all the way. Life is good.
Scenes of after breakfast discussions
The fire re-kindled, the breakfast completed we are about to go to the lake for a morning swim.
Towel dress
When in a pinch, the towel can double as summer dress.
Big mushroom
Mushroom growth
It goes quick, they are out in a day and open in another. Decay is coming.
