My laziness is showing: these photos come from last season. Apart from the time stamps on the electronic files, I can tell because Harley is eating green beans. We got so many green beans from our CSA last season (and after the first lovely weeks they got quite woody) that this season, Bruce couldn't even bring himself to look at a green bean. Which is too bad, since this season's crop looked much nicer for much longer. I made a few batches of pickled green beans (both sweet and spicy), gave a batch or two of the pickles to a neighbor, and gave the rest of the fresh beans to another neighbor — so they didn't go to waste.

Let's hope Bruce is over his green bean phobia next season, because Harley seems to like to play with them.

Occasionally he likes to find the "bean" inside the vegetable sleeve. But mostly it really is a good bobbing game.
