I've reached a critical mass--all of my large Tupperware bowls are in the fridge, heaped with ripe tomatoes. There are tomatoes in little bowls also and tucked into nooks and crannies.

It is time to do some canning.

I also went out this morning and picked 2/3 bucket of this year's mustang grape crop hanging on the trees in the woods across the road. I am debating whether to juice them now to see how they look, or go ahead and freeze them and use them in a steam juicer later. Right now I don't have room in the fridge for them, hence the need to can tomatoes.

I think you could call this an 'embarrassment of riches' though in fact it is what I was aiming for--enough stuff to preserve for the rest of the year. I'm having a BLT for lunch today, then I'll get to the canning.
