A Muddy Toes Morning
I enjoyed a muddy toes morning in the garden. Time stood still as I watered my plants. I chatted with neighbors and pedestrians as I
worked in My Victory Garden. I even
handed out a few onions. And then when I
moved into the backyard, Barnaby noticed the water wand for the first time.
He started licking up the water that trickled down the side
of the water wand. And then he chased
the billowing stream of water while I laughed.
He even stuck his head in the water, pulled back in surprise, and a
hummingbird launched between us and under the water wand handle towards the
hardy fuchsias. I even tried to take a few (bad) pictures of him on my phone.

When I placed the water at the base of a tree on a slow
trickle, he swiped his paw at the ground and snorkeled (blew bubbles) in the muddy water that
gathered in the hole. Then we both sat
on the patio furniture and dried off in the sun. And The Assistant joined us once the water was safely turned
off. Barnaby might just be a water dog.
