<\/a>some beets. \u00a0The nectar flow is on for the bees, the harvest flow has begun for the kitchen. \u00a0It’s steady now until we close down the garden.<\/p>\nOutside we have a wide rubber bucket we use for outdoor water for the dogs in the summer. \u00a0At least that’s our intended use of it. \u00a0Both Gertie and Vega prefer to see it as a doggy bath cum air conditioner. \u00a0So, we fill it up. \u00a0They empty it according to Archimedes and his bathtub.<\/p>\n
Today, when I went to fill it up once again, I noticed a toad in the water. He’d jumped into the pond, but it’s nearly straight up and down sides were far too high for him to climb out. \u00a0I gave him the ride of his life, slowly lifting the water level until he scrambled up on the edge. \u00a0After achieving his goal, he sat there, surveying, no doubt wondering what caused the water level in this pond to change so quickly.<\/p>\n
