Beast of Burden - Decided to haul the accumulated waste paper to the recycling center about 3 or 4 miles away. I needed to check out the garden as well, so I hooked up my BOB (Beast of Burden) trailer and loaded it up with about 20 or 30 pounds of paper. I was a little disappointed when I arrived at the center and realized that it was closed for maintenance. Since I had earlier posted a notice about the closing on a website, I had not excuse for my ignorance. I decided to look on the bright side; it was a chance to get in a good workout.

So, I continued on to the garden plot about 5 or 6 miles away, watered the plants and weeded. The garden looks great. The carrots are growing tall as are the tomatoes, which already contain several large, green fruit. Someone's been nibbling on the beans, but the yellow squash, cantaloupe, cucumbers, potatoes, and onions all look healthy.
