I am sure we have all spent half a night pondering just how to dolphins sleep. Dolphins, being air-breathing mammals do need to surface, regularly, to breath in air which would pose a problem for sleeping! Dolphins are able to achieve this by having one side of the brain sleep at a time. So while the right half is sleeping the left half stays awake and allows the dolphin to swim, surface, and breath. After about 20 minutes the left side wakes up and the right side goes to sleep.

Looks like I will have plenty of cabbage to last me the year! Most of it will be turned into sauerkraut but will make cabbage and pork soup with a bunch as well!

This year brought a plentiful sweet corn harvest! The first two rows went in the freezer and the second two rows I am going to ferment/pickle!
Still have more to harvest but glad I will have enough for the winter!

The beans are really producing this year! I had kept seeds from last year and not only did they grow but they were true to color! This is actually the second batch not counting all the beans we have already eaten!

This year I decided to try a different type of dill. Was labeled Mammoth Dill and although I am always skeptical of packaging claims I decided to give it a try. Definitely turned out to be true and now I am eagerly waiting for the cucumbers to start producing!

One of the first things I realized after I started using my 1978 Bethany Pop-up camper is that there was a fair bit of movement once it was set up. Just walking into it caused it to shift which puts a lot of stress on the camper. It also causes one to be concerned about it tipping which has happened to many others. Especially if only one of the beds are being used as then its one big teeter totter/lever and probably the last thing you want waking you up!
