A woman’s garden is growing beautifully but the darn tomatoes won’t ripen. There’s a limit to the number of uses for green tomatoes and she’s getting tired of it. So she goes to her neighbor and says, “Your tomatoes are ripe, mine are green. What can I do about it?” Her neighbor replies, “Well, it may sound absurd but here’s what to do. Tonight there’s no moon. After dark go out into your garden and take all your clothes off. Tomatoes can see in the dark and they’ll be embarrassed and blush.

This picture was taken in 1864 near Petersburg, Virginia. Pictured is a telegraph wagon from the Civil War. Interesting to note the”ghost like” figure in the left of the image. These old photographs required very long exposure times, so faint image was probably from a person who was standing there, and then walked out of the field of view during the exposure.
