Happenings on the Farm

1.) Maisy has been digging every chance she gets when I am working on the farm and too busy to notice her antics for the last several weeks. Regardless of the yelling H, N, or I do, one particular spot, near the very edge of a piece of concrete Rosa uses as a way to keep her delicate toes dry while walking to the pit, has been the focus of her attention. This dog really only digs when she has a reason, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was. Until today, when I was repeatedly trying to convince my camera to focus on the Very First Green Bean of the Farm (to no avail), and Maisy finally reached Shanghai (not to be confused with Shanghai Mark, fyi Anonymous K).

2.) T minus 4 days until the stitches come out (just in case you were counting!). But I'm managing to take adequate care of the farm, even with an Even Cowgirls Get the Blues toe. Here, pictured between the Romaine, which decided growing might be cool after all, and the green beans, which, well, see below so I don't wreck the surprise.


3.) The Very First Green Bean of the Farm has begun! And only two days after the flowers opened. Go bees, go! Go bees, go! Sadly, my low-tech camera could not focus on this MiniBean for the life of itself. So this fuzzy picture will have to do until the bean grows big enough for my camera to think it's worthwhile...
