What we have been waiting for.

I am going to save this photo so I can look at it in January and salivate thinking about how good they tasted. This year we have early girl and beefsteak and a great harvest. No blight what so ever, thank goodness. I hope everyone else is enjoying a good harvest.

Just picture perfect, Jack. Wish we had taste-a-vision!

Did you plant Japanese Black Triefl this year? If so, did you like it?

Mary, I planted them last year and they were great. We only have limited space for a garden and I wanted to try the early girl, as I we were just hankering for tomatoes, quickly. Miss Ava and I have taken up drone flying. Her dad has a large expensive drone that he uses for photography and Ava loves the drone, so Pop bought her one. I took her to the park and taught her how to fly it, and now her dad wants to try flying her drone. I told her to tell him that he can fly hers if she can fly his. She is very good with the drone, considering they are recommended for 14 and up and she is only seven. She even flies the drone around in her bedroom.

I was looking at a photo I took with my drone today and I can see the trees fading to yellow quickly now.

That is very interesting about the drone. The only thing I know is that Amazon was looking into using them. I guess they are sort of like those little planes that used to be popular when we were young? It seems that if you can have a camera on them that you can spy on people. Like you looking in on your neighbor. Where do you even buy these things? I know, probably Amazon. Ha

Right now, not even Amazon can use them commercially. The FAA has strict rules concerning where and how high you can fly them; nowhere with a heavy population, five miles from the nearest airport, no higher than 400 feet. As for spying on people, they look like ants in photos taken from the drone. Your own mother would not recognize you. I have already ordered one like mine for Ava, as she mastered her small drone in just two days. And, yes, you can buy a drone from Amazon. Right now they are for hobby use only, and I read recently there are about 300,000 in use in the US, or something like that. I mostly fly mine in the boonies and spy on the Canada Geese.

Those Canada geese are illegal immigrants... call the current administration border patrol so that they can capture them followed with free food and lodging until they get a court date to find out if they have to go back or stay and trim grass at the golf courses, airports and parks.

We now have geese crossing signs on some of the roads, who knew geese can read?
