Virginia’s showing off our first cherry tomatoes of 2010. Which is great, because it’s getting ungodly hot (100-plus) for the first half of the week and none of us can remember the last time it rained nor when it’s supposed to rain next. Also, we have a groundhog trying desperately to get into our garden. But we’re in Churchill mode — “we’ll fight on the beach, in the air, in the backyard. We will never surrender!”
