Tomatoes in Feb.

   I played L R C or however those letters are supposed to go last night and won finally! Now I know what all the noise was about New Years Eve when the kids were playing it. It is a fun game.
   Today we did something I've never done in Feb. We picked fresh tomatoes! I first said Dad would of laughed at those little things but then decided that if he could of picked them in Feb he would of liked them as much as I did. They were small but very tasty. We went right to the store and bought bacon and cottage cheese. What a yummy lunch. The bacon brings me to a hmmm moment!
   I have not bought bacon since last summer and when I bought it last it was sold in 16 oz packages. Today everything in the store was 12 oz, but still the same price as the 16 oz packages! Do they think that we won't notice that they've taken 1/4 of the bacon away? The pound of smoked sausage that we had for dinner is now 14 oz. The 32 oz jar of Miracle Whip is now 30 oz. I could go on and on. I understand raising prices but I don't understand completely changing the packaging to save money. Seems like that would cost more than it was worth.
Some of the 2500 tomato plants in this patch.

Picking a few tomatoes. Some of them were bigger than these, but even the little ones were very good!
  We had a real rain today. It got the street and driveway wet. Probably not a 20th of an inch, but better than nothing.
   I really won't write every day (unless we do something really exciting) but still trying to figure this out and how to do the pictures.
   Not for sure why the pictures ended up being in the middle of the text, but I will get this figured out.
