| Charlotte the pig accepts a slightly overripe cucumber from Kathy |
So I've been visiting my friend Kathy in Boise. She said we should visit Charlotte down the street. I said fine. She grabbed a cucumber from her garden that was a little past its prime. I thought, will Charlotte mind it's a little past its prime? Charlotte did not mind at all. It turns out Charlotte is the neighborhood pig and she welcomes your garden excess. She took that cucumber with great gusto and thanked Kathy with a few delicate pig grunts.
Tomorrow Kathy and I are making bread and butter pickles from her abundant cucumber harvest and we needed to pick more cucumbers. Kathy came across another cucumber that was too big and too ripe. She said, "We'll save this one for Charlotte." That's how the gardener rolls in Boise.
