Tomato season doesn’t last long in Texas, where we’ve already weathered a week of triple digit heat. But oh how we love every precious day of it …
And yes, the Peace Pin Project continues on. These two pins, reading “Fenna” which is a Dutch name associated with “peace,” were made for the proud grandmother of newborn Fenna Elizabeth in The Netherlands …
Liz~ Ah, nothing like fresh tomatoes...and seeing them on the windowsill! I want to walk out back and look at all of the plant life and artwork 🙂 Nice to know that the Peace Pin project continues.

PS I think I'll follow your lead with a reminder about adding a name to one's comment. Thanks.
We’ve learned the hard way that the tomatoes “cook” in the Texas heat … bringing them in to ripen on the windowsill works better
DeleteAnd how cool would it be to have you come by for a stroll in the garden? If only …
Nice looking tomatoes! And thank you for the new word for peace...fenna...even sounds peaceful.

It is a lovely word for a wonderful concept … and it has thinking about doing a series of peace pins in other languages
DeleteThis morning we had the rare treat of eggs with apple wood smoked bacon and it was grand. Now I come here and see your spectacular tomatoes and I am craving a BLT! Marti
ReplyDeleteMarti - bacon is a rare treat at our house … this tomato deserves the best so I’ll also be sure to go to Central Market for some good bread!
DeleteI don’t even try to grow tomatoes here in the Pacific Northwest - not a long enough season. But those do look yummy.
ReplyDeleteOur season won’t last but a month … one week of which we always seem to be out of town … but it’s so worth it to enjoy real tomato tasye and texture
DeleteOh tomatoes! :) It will be another couple months here but I saw a blossom on one of the plants. Deb G
ReplyDeleteI’ll be envying your crop come August!
DeleteGood morning Liz,
ReplyDeleteI'm also amazed that your tomato season is so short. Here, it lasts from the end of June until the frost in October.
I've finished two peace pins. However, they're a bit unstable. I have a question. Are you sewing cardboard in? I'll be honest. I have little experience with quilting or patchwork. Best, Katja
If we're lucky, the tomatoes will revive and give us some more tomatoes in November and December ... and yes, I do tuck a piece of 60lb cover stock into the front half of each pin
DeleteI did not know this about the name Fenna!
ReplyDeleteLA - all home grown crops are doubly welcomed. Lovely for a grandchild to receive one or two of your pins. Go gently. Barry
