Protecting the rear

And here is Shade making sure nobody sneaks up behind us in the car.

The very picture of modesty

I was shocked and dismayed to realize that we've not posted kitten photos in almost two years, so here is Chewbacca demonstrating how flexible he can be.

MIT Glass Lab Pumpkin Patch

We finally went this year. It was pretty awesome, as evidenced by our aquisitions.

Tomatoes!

Technically we've had a small Chocolate Stripe and an unfortunate incident that's about to become a fried green tomato, but I think this is the first real harvest. From left to right these cherry tomatoes are: Gardener's Delight, Blondkopfchen, and something incorrectly labeled as Marvel Stripe that may actually be Stupice. There are more green on the vine and lots of flowers, so we look forward to trying everything else in the coming months.
