.A THOUGHT FOR TODAY.

" The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. "

.This thought taken from Psalm # 37 verses 23 & 24. A psalm of David.

Look back and thank God.Look forward and trust God.Look around and serve God.Look within and find God!" God closes doors no man can open and God opens doors no man can close .

.

.My friend Eric who lives in Australia sent the above to me..

Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little word "I lOVE YOU"and a smile can do.

This thought above from my friend Helen.

You may not agree with me, but Monday morning is my favorite morning of the week, For several reasons, One is I am anxious to get back in my little tomato garden, and to begin working with them. And also that Srarbucks Sumatra X bold coffee is waiting and for you also if you could only stop in. And one more reason I am just anxious to visit with you, and maybe get one or two comments that cheer me up.

Dad enjoys working in his tomato garden, watering is a pleasure. These cabbage plants here belong to Mary. When the weather is very dry we water frequently.
.
I will be showing you more pictures daily of our tomatoes and let you see how they are doing.
.

Here is a link Dad's Fried Green Tomatoes Web Page .that will give you the receip for these fried green tomatoes.

..

Good Morning.

.

Time is so precious-do not waste it...

Wasted seconds, minutes, days, and years shall never come again...

Begin the Day with God..

...

Smiling time is almost here. These plants were set out on April 24th 2009. I wonder who that old grey headed man is. It looks like that he should be in the house taking a nap. I should have been smiling but I was so tired when Mary took this picture. I will try and perk up for my next picture, DAD.

.

" Well, Ray, I beat my Dad's record this year! I came home from our llama trek on Tue., 6/23/09 to find red ripe tomatoes on the llama fertilized vines! Dad always prided himself in having tomatoes by July 4th.
Best. " Laura.

.

I received this email from my friend Laura, you would remember her, She is the one that gives those Llama treks, and it looks that she can do somthing else very good. Producing tomatoes. She beat the record of her own Dad and it looks like that she is going to beat this old man by about 10 days. Laura how can you do that to us. Shame on you. Dad.

.

Now I want to tell you about those fried green tomatoes that you saw me frying yesterday afternoon. I had them for my supper last night, and I wish that you could have seen the smile on my face. Nuff said. Dad.

We hope that you will have time today to look at the two outdoor Cams above. They give you two different views of the tomato garden, the # 2 cams also gives you a good view of the bird bath. And we have this cam lighted at night. So when it is dark in Dad's tomato garden you will still be able to see the fountain. Try it out tonight and let me know what you think. DAD.

.

Our weather stays about the same every day. This morning it is 68 again and around 90 for today. No rain for a few days and we are begining to need a good shower. I think that one is promised for Sunday.

.

I just now at 5:57 a.m. checked on the Eagle Web Cam and two of the eagles are in view. One of them is having his breakfast in the nest. So they are still around. Dad.

Here is my thought for this day.

"Black may be the clouds about you. And your future may seem grim,But don't let your nerve desert you; Keep yourself in fighting trim."

This is by Edgar Guest.

.

This is it for today, not much but its all that I have. If all is well I will see you in the morning.I hope that we all can be content and happy today.

ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED & FORTY.

Good Morning.
.
Time is so precious-do not waste it, living for thyself alone. Live for others.
.
The sun never sets on Dad's Tomato Garden Journal.
.
Note: Both of our Cams are looking at the Garden, two different views. Watch them grow. Link in the side panel. DAD
..
"Oh how America loves the tomato. The aroma of the vine, sweetness of the flesh, and juicy acidity spur between 25 and 40 million of us to grow tomatoes in gardens, containers, and window boxes each year. There are few greater pleasures than a just-picked ripe, red tomato still warm from the summer sun, or a basket of juicy heirloom tomatoes from your farmers' market.More than any other fruit or vegetable, the tomato has changed the face of modern cuisine. Whether you toss chopped tomatoes into a beef stew, slide a few slices into a BLT, or layer them with their soul mate, basil, tomatoes have become ubiquitous. But even the reddest, plumpest specimens can disappoint when it comes to flavor and juiciness. Finding the best choice, knowing its flavor secrets, and understanding the best way to preserve that flavor will deepen your enthusiasm for one of summer's great tastes.How do you pick a good tomato? Not by looks. Some of the best-tasting tomatoes happen to be some of the homeliest. And picture-perfect tomatoes can be flavorless. Picking a good tomato starts at home, or in your neighborhood."
Home-grown tomatoes can't be beat. DAD

I do not know the Author of this above, but Thanks to someone.
.
This link below will take you to a poem that John M. sent me, it is a little long for the blog, so I used this way to let you view it. It is worth your time to read it. Here it is,Dad's Views and Tomato News ,,,
'
.
I am not late with this coffee today, it is ready hot, strong and waiting on you. I like it strong and I always use just a little half and half cream with it. And this today is Starbucks, a gift from one of my friends. And for my many friends that like tea you are never forgotten. Dad.
.



..
This link It Ain't Easy Bein' Green is of course from my great grandaughter Mandy. It is helpful and also very interesting. Take a little time and look it over.
.
We need to talk a little about the weather right here. It has been almost perfect for me, and it is looking good for several days ahead. This morning at 3:00 a.m. the temperature was 60 and we have a 82 for the day, and plenty of that beautiful sun. Come on there you Tomatoes it time now for you to do your part, I am in a hurry for a good tomato sandwich.
.
I don't think that we should go up to Eagle Web Cam very early this morning. We need to let them get a little rest. They had a rough day yesterday, it tired me out just watching them. I hope that what was being done was successful. It was interesting to watch, it did seem to me to be a very dangerous job. Thanks to all of you that had a part in the job. DAD.

Traveling Abroad? Learn How to Say Tomato!
Tags: languages, translated
.
By Vanessa Richins
.
Someday soon I dream of traveling around the world.
I am fascinated by other cultures, especially the foods and languages.
In fact, I have a dream of being able to read and write in 11 different languages. So far I know English, Spanish at an intermediate level, and a bit in a few other languages.
As I was idly thinking tonight, I realized that I only knew how to say tomato in 2 different languages - English and Spanish. How would I ever survive in another country if I didn’t know how to ask for my favorite vegetable?
I hopped on over to Google to use their translator. It features 42 languages. When I typed in “I want to grow a tomato”, I learned that I need to say “Voglio crescere un pomodoro.” when in Italy.
.
Without further ado, here are their translations for the word “tomato”.
Albanian - domate
Arabic - الطماطم
Bulgarian - домат
Catalan - tomàquet

I just now checked my two cams and the one up to the eagles, and believe it or not they are in service. Dad.
.
Here is my thought for today.

" Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory ; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves."

This is from Philippians, chapter 2 and verse 3. It was in our Bible study last night. Many times my self gets in the way and keeps me from doing that. DAD

.

The time has arrived for me to get out of your way, I know that the most of you have to get to a job. I hope that it is a good day , and I feel that it is going to be. Smile and be kind to everyone today and that will help. I hope to be right here in the early morning.
