Oh Baby, Tomatoes

Every year, a hanging baby tomato plant brings sheer delight to the grandkids within driving distance of our house.

How they love lifting up the green leaves and finding the bright red globes of yumminess.

This year, with the addition of some plant food every week or so, the crop has been fabulous.

These babies even make a truly delicious salad.

Simply mix the baby tomatoes with  chunks of mozzarella cheese, basil, and balsamic vinegar (reduced by boiling, then cooling),  honey, and olive oil.

It is beyond delicious.

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU HAVE THAT DELIGHTS KIDS?

Oh Baby, It's Cold Outside....

Oh baby, it IS cold outside.

We are experiencing some very chilly temps in western Massachusetts.

It's clothing layering time.

The sweet little snowman, shown at top of post, takes center stage on a kitchen windowsill.

He has smile-making power, don't you think?

The third week of Advent is also starting in the Christian church.

We look forward to celebration, once again,  of the Baby Jesus' birth, just a couple of weeks away.
