Canned Tomatoes and Hints of Fall

Never again will I attempt to peel so many cherry tomatoes.
It's tedious work. They are cute, but not worth the amount of time it takes.

Here are 7 quarts of whole homegrown tomatoes planted by Philip and Dietrich Rhodes and 10 quarts of tomato soup from salvaged tomatoes from the last of Grammy's pickings. And a mum and a pumpkin to thank mom and dad for all of the canning jars, lids, rings, tips, and the gracious use of their much, much cooler kitchen :).
