I picked one big tomato and several slightly smaller ones, so we had tuna melts on tomatoes again, might be close to the last time for this tomato season. :sigh: I also picked enough tomatoes for a batch of sauce, and I'll probably pick enough for another batch tomorrow or Wednesday. I think I'm at about 150 pounds of tomatoes for the season, which isn't bad for garden that's about 15x20.

Our cat apparently got into a fight last night, he showed up at the back door with a bloody nose and a big cut beside his left eye. At first we wondered if he had gotten hit by a car, but there don't seem to be any injuries other than on his face.

He went to the vet this morning, he's got one eye that still looks bad but Diane thinks it is looking better than last night or this morning, the vet wasn't sure if it had been punctured or scratched. They did a stain test, it wasn't positive for eye fluid leaking out, but it certainly bled into the eye so I'm hoping he's got the cat equivalent of a shiner. He's got a followup appointment on Wednesday, but even that might be too soon to know if the eye is permanently damaged.

He slept all day, woke up around 5:45 HUNGRY, which is a good sign. He got most of a can of his favorite food, a little at a time, and then a bowl of water from the tuna fish. Now he's taking another nap, with occasional snuffles but his breathing seems pretty much normal now. He hasn't expressed any interest in going outside, which is not something he'll be doing for a while.

I'm hoping he'll mend OK, and maybe this will teach him to be less interested in the neighborhood fauna. Our last male cat took to chasing squirrels, two or three trips to the vet after the squirrel nearly chewed his tail off finally convinced him that they weren't fair game. Jack has been getting too much attention from the foxes, for the last week or two every time he went outside except in the middle of the day, they'd bark at him until we let him back in.

I had a tomato and salami sandwich, Diane had some of the left-over tuna melt from yesterday.

I picked enough (mostly small) tomatoes today to do another full batch of sauce (10 pounds of tomatoes), but this might be one of the last batches this season, as things are winding down. It was pretty cool today, a high around 70. Supposed to get warmer tomorrow, then cool off, then one (probably last) blast of 90's on Saturday, which is Homecoming for the Huskers.
