Josh, Corny, Lex, garlic, and salsa

Our friends Cornelia, Josh, and their dog Lex came over today. We have been selling all the tomatoes we raise at market, but we find that we almost always have some tomato seconds lying around that are slightly bruised, misshapen, or somehow imperfect. So Corny and Maryellen took a bunch of tomato seconds and made salsa and ketchup today.

Here is Maryel at rest after a long day of preserving and canning.

Those of you who have worked here, or have visited in the last few months, will know what magazine she is reading. (I am not sure who will be in more trouble for this pic -- me for posting it, or Corny for taking it. Somehow, I suspect it will be me.)

Josh and I pulled some garlic and hung it in the shed to dry. Here is the first of it going up.

Lex took it easy most of the day.

Then we all went out to dinner at the Norwich Pub, which is down by Corny and Josh's house. Yum! Not a bad day at all.
