The garden is amazing. I have never watered anything regularly or sufficiently before and had no idea where that could lead. Although the photos aren't good enough to show them, the plants are packed with tomatoes and peppers, and seem to grow more every day. Kind of exciting to watch.
And watching everything, all of the time, is one of my favorite creatures, Bill and Linda's guard dog. He is a great little dog and not overly destructive (it really doesn't matter if he steps on a plant, he isn't heavy enough to crush one.) The only bad habit is that he is so fast he occasionally picks off a baby bird and so the adult birds attack him non-stop if he isn't standing by one of us.
