Meanwhile, off to the kitchen to make salsa, the first homemade one of the summer. The tomatoes are in full glory at the farmers' markets and I also bought some hot little green peppers, ¡ay!, and there are onions in the house as always. And lime juice. And garlic, if I decide to include garlic. Much as I love garlic, I tend to leave it out of salsa. I will have to wait till tomorrow to put in fresh cilantro, which I neglected to get today, but the other ingredients are here, so I'll have a cilantro-less salsa tonight (with a little cumin in it) and a cilantro-fragrant one tomorrow.
Giving thanks for the earth and all growing plants and the people who grown them.

Amen!
Haste makes waste... or at least makes a double comment!
Amen to the salsa. To your absence, I will rend my garments but understand.
I once tried making salsa with scotchbonnet peppers I found at the farmers' market one year...I ended up burning my hands. I haven't made salsa since. (But the salsa I did make turned out to be quite flavorful!)
Mon, Scotch Bonnet requires gloves, the ones used by Welders!
Those tomatoes look so good; we won't have them in abundance (for salsa & marinara & roasting & Gazpacho &...)
Where was I? Oh yeah: sob!
La vida sin salsa no vale nada. Life without salsa isn't worth anything.
Love those heirloom tomatoes.
Last night I made salsa with homegrown cilantro (not much left), parsley, and hot jalepeños. Onion and tomatoes still come from the market but my roma (plum) tomatoes are coming along. Then I just add in some white vinegar and I am ready to go happily.
