Garden + puppy

We had some significant rain last night, and the morning has been drizzly and cool. I took the gorgeous weather as a sign that I should pick beans that were desperately needing harvesting.


The thing that made this all so fun, though, besides the mystic cloudiness, was that I had our new pup bounding along with me, chewing on cardboard, pepper stems (she even picked a bell pepper for me!), and the discarded beans that I should have picked weeks ago. Having my canine companion along made this morning's garden work that much more enjoyable.

And I came in with a very full, 2-gallon bowl of beans.

The 100-Tomato Kitchen

The countertop is telling me that it's time to make marinara sauce... not to mention the windowsill...
