beanie dog & other things

Yesterday the crew and I hit the butter bean patch. We took turns picking and tending the nursery and ended up with about 15 full quart bags of shelled beans. It was an all day job but in many ways a fun job. Those of us picking laughed and talked, just as we did as we shelled. My best church friend, Sandy came over and shelled a large pan of beans. While she was there another lady from church, Pat, dropped by to give us some squash and she stayed and shelled some beans. We really enjoyed visiting and getting to know Pat better as she is a new member to the church and community.

We saw some unusual sights while in the garden. One was Cookie, Stacie's dog. He thought he was too good to stay down on the ground amongst the wet grass and plants, so he climbs on Stacie's back for a free ride. When Stacie would shoo him off her back, he would climb on mine. Riding wasn't good enough for him though, he would also give you sugar and take your cap off. He was so funny.



Stacie also found this odd colored frog...awesome what we find when we are one with nature and our surroundings.



Today TA, James and I have gathered about 400 ears of corn. The crew is shucking and silking it now while I pay some bills and write this.
