The home page is really rather boring... the baby toned colors and the very week font just dont do it for me. I would like to see some stronger tones, a more graphic strong font, but nothing over the top... just "cleaned up" and out of the baby colors.

Here ya go Shoe!

I was thinking about the Homepage today, too.

Was thinking about adding a slideshow with pics from the site... maybe themes for a week or day... or not. Just think we need a strong visual to grab a first time visitor to let them know what we're about. Would a slideshow be possible, Dave/Trish? I mean if it fits with your vision?

But, I do think something visual is needed to state what ATP is all about.

The homepage, especially for that of the non-logged on person is high on our priority list.

Susie- you've mentioned several things that we'd love to add, for certain.

Shhh....
Shoe enters the room, hoping to not interrupt important discussion, and peering quizzically at the pic Doug just offered ("Here ya go, Shoe!")...

My index finger scratches my head bald(er); my mind is thinking that pic is a toilet seat, well used. Oh m'gosh!

Shoe is mentally thanking Doug for a toilet seat so well worn, and cool, it no longer offers splinters.

...And now back to our regularly scheduled program (♫♫ music fades to background as Shoe tiptoes back out....) ô¿ô

Howdy Folks! I just dreamed I was here a few minutes ago..

I'm following all the great suggestions on the logo. As for me, I like it as is but wouldn't mind a bird, precisely offset from the butterfly for balance. As for colors, I like the gentle colors, as is; if something needs brightening up it would be the butterfly, flower, (and bird?).

Shoe (listening to the music of a wonderful orchestra: RAIN on a tin roof, Thunder and lightning in the sky, and somebody hollering YeeHaw!) (I think the last part is me. Sorry to be so loud but we've needed this wet gift.) :>)

Good for you, Shoe!!! Enjoy the rain!
We had a nice little bit of rain, lightning, thunder last night. Some parts of AZ didn't get but a few drops. Maybe tonight there will be MORE for MORE areas... Texas and Oklahoma too!

You may have heard me too, Hee Hawwww, we did get a nice shower this afternoon.
Myflowers love it but so does that dag gum grass.....

Shoe (suffering from the heat. Hotter'n a toilet seat in the one-hole privy at the Annual Prune Festival here!) :>(

That's why you got the outhouse seat......

Doug

I LOVE the butterfly

I just now noticed the little Butterfly ... perfect!

"Shoe ...That's why you got the outhouse seat..."

Thanks, Doug! I'll treasure it always! :>)

This site is moving right along with new features and improvements. Reminds me of the word "juggernaut" from sometime in the past! (*wink) :>)

Shoe (off to collect tomatoes for seed saving before we hit 97º and they are boiling)

I was on my tractor the other day, thinking about ATP, and that very word came into my mind and I smiled.

Heheheh!... I wondered if that was still one of your favorite words, Dave! *grin

And isn't there something just plain wonderful about sitting on the seat of a tractor, looking over the hood to what's before as you cruise along, relaxing and thinking of wonderful things?

Happy Day!
Shoe

shoe. "Seat time" is what we call it around here. Very relaxing.

Perfect name for it. That's usually how I take a break; do "seat time" but yet still get work done.

Okay, back on topic...

Shoe (tomatoes picked, off to start fermenting them)

Cool new banner.
Lookin' good.
