Having more or less given up on the vegetable garden, I just harvested two cherry tomatoes, one each for me and cattitude, and it was good.

Cattitude had looked out the window a few hours ago and saw a few that looked ripe, but at that point the weather page was saying 96°F feels like 109. The air has now cooled enough that I went outside, moved the trash and recycling containers back, and picked the two tomatoes that seemed ready.

We also have a variety of produce delivered by WhatsGood, and I bought groceries like milk, eggs, and bread at the supermarket this morning, walking over before before it got oppressively hot.

In theory, Belmont now has a mask mandate, but I passed small shops that haven't posted the required signs, and there were several unmasked shoppers in the supermarket. I put my mask on before going inside, but I'd done that two weeks ago, before the town re-instituted the requirement.

I hope that heat passes quickly for you. We had it here a few weeks back. Ugh.

I've more or less given up on the garden this summer, but on the back of past efforts we're picking a steady stream of cherry tomatoes. I've also got some larger tomatoes and one carrot growing, and some plums if the wasps don't get them all first.
