Lesser of Two Evils

Ok, so while I was lugging the shop vac up and down stairs, Mom was outside - in the midday Georgia heat and humidity - working in her garden.  Maybe being inside in the a/c was the best option!!

Anyway, Mom has NEVER had a garden before, and this is her load from today.  I ate a handful of the little tomatoes as a side to my chili!

Ok, so Mom did all of the work of nurturing and harvesting these vegetables, but I think I need some credit for this photograph... I told her we should send it to Southern Living!!

Oh, and she added a quote to the pillowcase - "When I was 5..."  Erich and I (but mostly Erich) were horrible, mean children, and we used to make fun of her stories!  Good times...
