Here come the tomatoes!

Finally, the tomatoes have started to ripen! I love the colors, shapes, and sizes of the different heirloom varieties and the taste is amazing! Nothing like the pale dry orbs that are sold in the grocery store. These tomatoes are juicy and bursting with flavor in every bite. I eat a lot of BLT's during the month of August. Sometimes I add avacado to the sandwiches and substitute basil leaves for lettuce. First thing in the morning I'm out in the garden picking cherry tomatoes for breakfast. No need to cook them. I just pop them in my mouth like candy.
