I brought this tomato home in a four inch pot from a plant swap a few years back, and I don't remember it's being tagged. It is a medium size cherry that has a wonderful flavor and just laughs at the Texas sun. I grow it in full sun, it produces all summer and then I harvest the green ones before the first frost and they ripen over time. It reseeds for me each year. Wish I could be of more help with the name, but that is the story of this great little tomato.

Thanks - house finch seems a good fit. Looks like we're in that narrow band they do not hang out in year round, so explains why not frequently seen here. Thought flight may have been off because it was young, but eye disease probably a better explanation - glad to learn of it, but still a sad thing. Crazy about the bald jays - nice to know before seeing one. They are common here in spring and early summer, but scarce this time of year for some reason.

laVerne, you might want to start your own new thread. What you've posted is rather a new topic all of it's own and may get over looked at the bottom of Thurman's repetitious complaints. As I did see your post, I'll hand out my 2 cents. IMO your husband is allowing this adult woman to run right over both himself and you. When's he going to stand up for himself and say 'enough'? Sure, every grandparent wants to see their grandchildren and be a part of their life, but most of them don't sale their soul to the devil to do so. Your husband (and you) are being emotionally blackmailed by a immature spoiled rotten little girl who has failed to grow-up and function in the adult world. My best advice is that husband sits down with his daughter and has a long serious discussion. Just the two of them. They either work it work, adult to adult, or daughter can run pout in a corner and play victim. It's her and her children's loss if she chooses to cut Daddy out of her life over a temper tantrum over babysitting. In the meantime, stop inviting them over weekly for dinner. Toss out a sincere invitation like every 4 to 6 weeks. If they say 'yes' and don't show, pre-plan for it. Choose a menu that does not knock you out and that can be put into small portions and frozen for husband and you to pull out of freezer on evenings you don't feel like cooking. That way all your work does not go wasted and actually turns into a postive for you. Or just stop inviting them...that's a decision you'll have to make on your own. As for babysitting, find something to do such as volunteer time a few days a week so husband and you are not so available. I love to have my grandkids and I did babysit fulltime 11 yrs ago when my first grandson was born. With that said, it was 11 yrs ago. I'm not in a time and place in my life currently that I would offer to do it again for a next baby. My youngest son and future DIL have long been told that. When they start their family, yes, I'll love being a part of baby's life and having him/her over a day and/or night a week or so, but I will not be a fulltime sitter and not expect me to be. Son has been informed now so he and future DIL can plan their family and finances accordingly.

I certainly feel like it's a little world in there! There used to be LOTS more spiders (and zero pupae or monarchs), but taking the caterpillars has dropped the spider population a little. Hopefully they went to other plants with other types of caterpillar!
