Experiencing first power outage since moving into current house which has generator. Everything went off for about 2-3 seconds and then generator fired up and most of the main floor came back online. Generator stuttered briefly when AC compressor came back online.

It is that time of year when our neighborhood has this delicious Gem Tomato stand run by our neighbors and friends the Millers. We brought home several to eat fresh.

This is the same tomato stand that is in our Land of Things puzzle.
