| Someone appreciates the softness of baby dill. |
The dill was planted for the sole purpose of making dill pickles but Skittle seems to like the softness of the mammoth dill that has yet to mature. The dill seed was saved from last years dill crop and I was so pleased when I planted it this spring that it came up and looks great. As far as Skittle is concerned, this isn't the first time I have caught him inside the small fence of the dill. He seems to think that this is an appropriate place to sit and hide and watch the birds in the bird bath just a few feet away.

| The birdbath is pretty close to the cucumbers "Honey Hole" |
The cucumbers are about an inch long right now and it will not be more than a week or two before I can pick them and start canning. Dill pickles are one of the main things that I can each summer and I have a recipe that everyone who tries them loves. I will post my pickle recipe later. The first year I made them from this recipe I went to the farmers market and bought 10 lbs of small cucumbers and couldn't make enough of them because the kids loved them.
