The awful heat wave eased a bit, and Zip, my photographic assistant, showed up to keep me company while I worked. He did his usual charming twist to get a scratch, but I wasn’t having it. I’m too busy today.
He pouted a bit, and then I told him to get lost, and he did. As usual, he showed up everywhere.
He did hop up onto the table and watched me while I worked.
This is Zip’s charming technique. He is sometimes irresistible, and he knows it.

Peering out of our wood pile, his headquarters is in the pasture. He is safe, nearly invisible, and can see everything.
I was glad to have him back.
Yay Zip!!!!
Hi Jon, I’ve been a fan of your books and and your photography as well, and followed your Blog almost from it’s beginning. I Love the picture of Zip next to the plant on the back porch. I was wondering, I have that same plant which I just got recently, and sadly it doesn’t seem to be doing well. A lot of the stems and leaves are shriveling up and dying and the others arent’t standing up nice and strait like yours. If you have any suggestions i’d be very grateful.
Thanks. Cate
