I was a bit tired today, since Harold is away on business and ALL the chores are mine, and of course the cow misbehaved... so I decided to take the dogs to the orchard for a short walk, instead of our long trek through the pasture.
I was checking the trees for apples but the only ones I saw were too far up, and not worth trying for, when I got to the hazelnut bushes. I had harvested our first nuts from these bushes earlier, but apparently I had missed some, because soon I had more than a handful of nuts. I used the bottom of my tee shirt as a bag and kept collecting nuts.
Decibel came over to watch.
Might as well put her to good use. She likes nuts too, and with her nose... so I showed her a nut and told her to find it. Decibel sniffed the thing, then gave me one of her most brilliant smiles, sat up and pawed the nut-filled pouch of my tee shirt.
"They are right there, Mom!"
Brilliant.
