Rainy Day Excursion

I wasn't disappointed when Saturday turned out to be a little too wet for gardening, I usually like rainy days anyway. Those rainy, spring days give you a chance to catch up on the things you may have been putting off in the mad rush to get the garden planted...or provide the perfect opportunity to have a cup of tea and spend a little time with the book you've been reading. 
In our case, Dave and I decided to take a drive in the direction of Waldoboro, where we had a quick lunch at Maine's famous Moody's Diner, and afterwards stopped by at Moose Crossing to pick up tomato seedlings. 
We grow a lot of tomatoes most years, all shapes, sizes and colors. This year we came home with nine flats and four singles. That's 58 little tomato plants in all. To some that may seem like a lot of tomatoes, but to others it's barely enough! A certain sister of mine probably plants triple that amount and uses them in various forms all year round. 
Ah well, I guess I'm going to be busy enough when the sun finally comes out again!

Our waitress told us that there was fresh rhubarb pie on the menu today, we didn't indulge this time but Moody's does make a great pie. Now on to Moose Crossing for plants...

Hello little tomato plants!

Wish I could take all of these home with me...
