You can almost see it’s a garden, after weeks of weeding and Gretchen had just finished mowing between the rows.

Gretchen and Yellow Dog 2020-06-18
At going on 13 years old, Yellow Dog is an octogenarian in human years, with arthritis to show for it.

Box turtle and oblivious Yellow Dog 2020-06-11
Apparently box turtles don’t like blackberries, even when Gretchen offers them. And Yellow Dog doesn’t notice turtles.

Gretchen finished weeding the tomatoes.

Well, those tomatoes. She already weeded the other ones.
And I found those cucumbers in the okra.
