Unfortunately, I forgot to add the Sitemeter code to the footer, so I have no idea who’s been visiting. . . . → Read More: Lately]]> I’ve been trying to decide on a new theme for the blog (I just don’t have time to do one myself), so I’ve been trying several different ones out for the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, I forgot to add the Sitemeter code to the footer, so I have no idea who’s been visiting. Please take a moment to say hello in the comments section. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone is really reading us.

Also, we spent all last weekend harvesting and canning & dehydrating the corn and tomatoes from the garden. We have quite a few eggplant to deal with yet and more tomatoes are coming, so next weekend will probably be a food processing couple of days too.

Here are a couple of pictures of some of the tomatoes we pulled out of the overgrown rainforest that is our garden:

Mortgage Lifter, Golden Jubilee, Northern Lights, Green Zebra, Old Ivory Egg. Purple Cherokee, Amish Paste

So, perhaps, Maverick is more of an Ultimate Napping Dog.
