Tomatoes

We were given a beef steak tomato plant from the relief society and then we decided to buy a cherry plant. We love greenery and thought it would be cool to have fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes. So TJ has been diligently caring for our tomato plants. He has been watering them, giving them calcium fertilizer, bringing them in out of the strong winds, and just babying them. It has been a few months now and the plants are HUGE! Our cherry is loaded with tomatoes. Our beef steak only has two. However, none of them are turning red. The cherry ones have been around for a while now but everyday they just stay green. It is very discouraging for me and I am not even the one who takes care of them. TJ thinks it is because we haven't had very much sun lately. This could be but it is not like it is pitch black all day. I guess I just don't know the process tomatoes undergo to get to the point where they are ready to eat. Hopefully they will turn red soon so we can eat them! This picture doesn't do them justice.

Lake Arrowhead

Aren't these pictures beautiful! On Sunday TJ and I went up the mountain to his second cousin's son's holy first communion. TJ has never been to Lake Arrowhead and it has been a few years since I have been up there but I don't think I appreciated the beauty. These pictures were just on the drive up. We didn't get any around the lake but his cousins did so if they are good I will post them later.
