Blooming okra

We don’t call it Okra Paradise Farms for nothing:

It’s taller than it was three weeks ago. Don’t need to stoop as much, but more times. Tasty!

Filthy dogs run home

There’s nothing like an invigorating run after a good wallow in the swamp! Wait for it….

Snake of the night

The dogs found this, about one foot from the house:

Yep, it’s a timber rattler. You can’t see the rattles in this picture (although you can in these other ones by Gretchen), but it had three.

So I put it in a box. It didn’t like that: it really rattled. We drove it to a better spot in the woods, where it’s very happy now.

Good dogs, Yellow Dog and Brown Dog! They notified us but did not try to bite the snake.
