Everybody has a toy

Button with the orange ball looks like she wants Carbon to chase her around the yard.


Ohhh, he is such a good boy. He has the toy. Carbon is very proud when he has the blue toy. He prances over to both of us to show us the blue toy. This is one of many exciting moments in the day.

Purple silk & orange ball


This is a strawberry flower blooming off of a runner.

The corn didn't grow very tall, but but it looks like we should have a few ears. I've been hand pollinating the silks being they all seem to be maturing at different times.

This is my first hand-full of green beans. Variety is Blue Lake Pole. I ate them raw in a couple of minutes. mmmmm...

The dogs got a new toy today. It's an orange ball made by West Paw Design, the Huck. It's made from 10% post-industrial waste and the manufacturer will recycle it when the dogs are done with it. Plus, if the dogs destroy it, they will replace it for free. That's a challenge that Button likes. :) Tomorrow I'll post photos of the dogs playing with it.
