the rot / October 18

To my annoyance, many of the green tomatoes I brought in, worrying about the cold, are turning brown, and going moldy.  I don't know if leaving them on the vine would have been smarter, or bringing them in earlier.  I've had them wrapped in newspaper, which is supposed to help green tomatoes ripen, and I have successfully ripened some a little earlier in the season. 

I saw at least 8 hawks overhead today.  I'm assuming they were red-tailed, although they looked dark, that could have been the light conditions.  

Common birds: blue jay, house sparrow, chickadee

Overhead: red-tailed hawk
