Monster Tomato Plant

It may be getting cold out, but the Jolly Green Giant (and to a less impressive extent, Little Green Sprout) keep growing like crazy! I just measured, and Jolly Green Giant is 8'5". We brought most of the big green tomatoes in when we were getting dangerously close to a frost. Now we have something like 30 green tomatoes slowly but surely ripening in a brown paper bag with the help of a ripe apple, which gives off ethylene gas to help speed up the tomato ripening.

Pumpkins!

So, I had a bunch of beautiful pictures of the handmade ricotta-parmesan gnocci with rosemary that Price and I made, and a couple of the Willamette River in the morning with fog rolling over it... but I accidentally saved them to my camera instead of my memory stick, and I don't have the appropriate cable to retrieve them. Oops!

Last night we carved pumpkins!

Here comes the wet.

I bought rain pants yesterday. That should qualify me for immediate Oregon residency.
