Zip is a lot more punctual than I am. Every day, he waits for me to come out and do farm chores, tend to the garden, get the mail, or take photos. He wants to come along. It’s become a thing with us. I couldn’t find him and walked around to look for him.

He was sitting in the shade (it was a warm day)  underneath the wicked chair where Minnie used to sleep. I was glad to see him. He came right out.

We went out to get the mail together, then back into the barn for some cleanup and another walk to the garden bed.
