The gray sky doesn't stop the greens from looking good. |
Monday morning when the dog and I went out to walk the sky was cloudy but the weather was comfortable. We headed up to the turnip green field and had a look at the greens. They are a very luxuriant green color. The owner of the field has started picking them. At 2 or 3 dollars a bunch he has quite a good bit of money out there in the field. The trick is getting people to stop and buy them. We turned from perusing the greens and walked back down to the unoccupied home to have a look at the yard. The leaves of the sycamore tree are falling and covering the yard.

How many leaves are on a Sycamore? |
Sycamore leaves are very large and pretty easy to clean up. You could almost walk around and just pick them up, or you could just cut them up with the lawn mower. As we walked out of the driveway from the home I saw that Sneeze weed is beginning to carpet one side of the road on a steep bank.

Sneeze weed is pretty on a steep bank. |
It will really look pretty if it manages to bloom all down the side of the road. While I was looking at the flowers the dog ran into a pipe that crosses under the road. I could hear him doing something but I was not really paying attention. When I rose to walk on back to the house the dog suddenly ran out of the pipe and back to the house. He had found another turtle.

My dog is getting smarter. |
If it seems like this happens a lot it is because it does. I met the dog at the front gate and tried my trick of asking him to speak so he would drop the turtle but he did not fall for it. I had to let him in and wait till he lay down in the grass where he put the turtle down in front of him. Then I simply stepped behind him while he was otherwise occupied, lifted him up by his collar and pulled him away from his prize. Was the dog upset? Oh yeah. I really have to be careful when I take his turtle from him because he has bit my hand in the past while I was carrying it. I tossed it into the woods behind my home while the dog was distracted by a stick I threw in the other direction. When I threw the turtle I think he hit a tree and bounce off. Sorry about that. Now the dog and the turtle were angry at me. Well it is not a perfect world. Thanks for reading my blog today. Bye.
