@5K Qs ~ I appreciate the kind words!
And speaking of appreciation, I think a good dog is one of God’s greatest blessings. In my life I’ve had three German Shepherd Dogs, two Brittany Spaniels, and a Boston Terrier, all AKC pure breds, all wonderful dogs. But about a year before our son passed, he brought this guy, just a 5 wk old mutt pup home. And this is THE smartest, the most devoted, and most loving dog I’ve ever had. All he wants to do is be with me. Working outside, he’s at my side. Mowing, trotting alongside, practicing guitar or sitting on my butt liking knife pictures on BF, he’s laying at my feet.
Now maybe I’m just emotional because today in church I did the song we did at the funeral - hard to get through- but with this dog around, I feel connected to my boy.
Here he is guarding the beans I picked for supper...

And because this is about knives, here’s my Camco helping me cut and de-string the beans...

Thanks for letting me sit on the porch and ramble a bit.
