After the race on Saturday morning, we went to Homestead Farms in Walpole. They are most famous for their cider doughnuts, which are wonderful, still warm when we grabbed a dozen. However, on a healthier note, they also have a you-pick tomato greenhouse. For $1.25 a pound, you grab as many as you want. It took about a minute to fill up a flat: amazing!

Not a joke, actually.

The next time we design a travel trailer or a boat cabin, or a tiny basement apartment, we’re gonna remember this articulated commode… When it’s folded in and closed, the counter is only about 18" deep.

From a trip a few weeks ago: two goats and a well-hidden chicken playing hide and seek in Brookshire, TX.
