Now I know what got to my cherry tomato plant.
A critter....
Now I know what got to my cherry tomato plant.
Whacky weather - heat wave in Japan, fires in Greece!
- A wildfire has killed at least 50 people and injured more than 150 as it swept through a small resort town near Athens.
A critter....
If you have tomato plants, then you positively DO have tomato worms!!! It's a fact of life:Now I know what got to my cherry tomato plant.
We have been in the process of demoing our fireplace.
We finally finished the demo and the contractor is coming today to frame and in a few days the firebox will be installed by another guy.
Baby steps.

Wow....big project. But a Ball-Peen hammer? Good luck with that project...always stuff to work on.
You’ll be so cozy this winter!
Why? It would have been much easier to install a wood burning stove in the existing fireplace. We did that. It slid right into the fireplace and fit nicely, using the existing chimney. The stove had fans that pulled in the cold air and pushed out the heated air. It had nice skirting around it so it looked like it belonged there. Next time I go to my daughter's house I'll take a picture of it.We have been in the process of demoing our fireplace.

My favorite part is that it’s going to be a see thru.
Congratulations! Well done, JoesBro! [emoji122]
Hot, humid, soggy, wet, muddy. The rains and storms have stopped for now. Good time to check on the garden, Sully, the trees, etc. Banana tree has some leaf damage = Sully food for later today. So much rain, water logged squash, fruit dropping. Last week, too dry. We fight the good fight.
Silly Sully, pouring down rain at 8pm yesterday...he's out there just chomping away on grass n weeds. Rain, what rain? Wind, what wind? Mud, love it.
The same type of limestone is used across Canada for public buildings, train stations, even private residences. How cool is that? I had to find and measure six particular fossils, but we spent a lot more time looking at as many of them as we could.

Ottawa River has many interesting specimens too, visible mostly in summer, when the water levels are lower. Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to go to the particular location though.
There was more Tyndall Stone in Montreal:

...as well as a fossil garden near a small museum at McGill University:

...featuring one pseudofossil and one giant ammonite from Portland, England from late Jurassic(I believe @Moozillion wears one of these around her neck, only much smaller [emoji23]):

My Dad was born in Bristol; he died in 2002. Son looks very like him. Today would have been Dad’s 82nd Birthday. I think he’d be delighted to see his grandson being awarded a first class degree in Bristol today![]()
