Find the Dogs in the Garden...

A variation on "Where's Waldo", except here it's Mina & Muddy, enjoying a client's Chicago garden. Our client is not only a prolific gardener, but a stand-out cook as well. I sampled some of the luscious bounty from her veggie plot (that has spilled over into containers) while we talked about not only the virtues of growing your own veggies, but also books & dogs...both of ours are rescue pups (well, we see their hearts as eternally youthful). Hers is a Samoyed and ours a Norwich Terrier. Book? I am currently keeping company with MOUNTAINS BEYONDS MOUNTAINS by Tracy Kidder. It fleshes out the inspiring example of Dr. Paul Farmer, the MacArthur genius grant winner, who has altered the planet in terms of infectious diseases and his relentless activism for social justice.
