It’s that time of year again, garden time! We were distracted last year and had a lack luster harvest. But this year we are both interested in actually growing some vegetables that are worth talking about. So we’ve put in some work on the garden in the last few weeks. I think it could really turn out great this year. We have pumpkins, green peppers, jalapenos, carrots, beets, strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, tomatoes, basil, cilantro, and two unknown things in the pot… I’m pretty sure one of them is a tree. To simplify the process I set up a sprinkler at the edge of the garden so all we have to do is go down and turn on the faucet and it automatically gets watered. Now all we have to do is remember to do that!

One of my little daily annoyances in reading blogs is that there is no standard way to navigate through the archives of posts. I think we’ve all agreed that there needs to be some kind of links at the bottom of the front page that lead to more posts. But what word to use in that link is where the confusion comes in. Some blogs use the word “Next” to denote that you are moving to the next page in the blog, as if you are digging down into the list of posts. Which is technically correct, but the fact that the posts were published previous to the ones on the first page confuses me some of the time.Because they use previous to get you back towards the front page.
