http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Job/30155 I'm in NC for my summer vacation. But I'll admit, this is no normal vacation. I was up a 6 a.m. and by 6:30 a.m. I was out helping my Dad pick green beans. He has 3 long rows and by 11:30 a.m we picked over 3 bushels. I tell you the truth, I picked the most green beans today than I have picked all my life. Come Saturday, we'll do it again. With all that work in the garden today my jeans got really&nbsp;dirty. And to top that off, Daddy's two beagles loved to run up and down between the muddy rows and jump on me. They were having so much fun. Of course, the dog lover I am, I didn't mind at all. Then there is Tracker. Tracker, one of Dad's beagles, does something I've never seen a dog do before. When he gets to hot, he just jumps into his big tub of drinking water and cools off. And drinks from it too. I'll try to get a picture of that for you. I'm in NC for my summer vacation. But I'll admit, this is no normal vacation.
