It is so hot and humid here that I can’t breathe . . .
A little asthma coupled with cornfields on all sides of my home keeps me
captive until we get some weather relief . . .
Michael and I picked this cute little eggplant trio and some cherry tomatoes . . .
He spent the afternoon finishing the mowing that I started earlier this week.
Aren’t they cute???
Their diminutive size reminds me of my Mom . . .
not that she was diminutive . . .
she just had to pick things before they were really ready to pick!!!
We always had those teeny tiny potatoes that you see now
being advertised as organic baby potatoes . . .
Not . . . she just couldn’t wait for them to get any larger!!!
Good memories ! ! !
That nice smokey effect on these photos . . .
My camera lens was fogged because it was so hot and humid . . .
I made these photos at 8 p.m. on my porch . . .
I never managed to get it completely unfogged.
My little eggplants all dressed up in a Kim Klassen texture!!!
It makes a mama proud!!!

Woo Hoo I’m joining Marty for Table Top Tuesday...with my eggplant trio
Oh, my goodness, I know ALL ABOUT the fogged camera lens! I've struggled with it myself lately. Your "classy veggie" pics are great! I especially love the cherry tomatoes in the sugar shuttle. That's inspired!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, What a cute blog post. I've seen alot of different blogs but have never seen one predominantly about eggplant... How funny!!!!
ReplyDeleteI needed a laugh--so thanks alot. I lost one of my best friends on Thursday. She died after fighting cancer for several years. We are going to the funeral tomorrow. I've been very sad all weekend...
So--thanks for the smile.
Hugs,
Betsy

The pictures are delightful...but I'd be throwing those tomatoes and eggplants into a casserole with some garlic and onions and a few other vegetables and making ratatouille.
