Dinner with friends

We had a dinner date with friends.
They have a dog...named Buddy.  We brought him a dog toy and treats!  He likes us.
He is a cattle/house dog..we had one of his mistakes for supper...a steer that Buddy spooked fell on the ice last winter and broke his leg. Steaks!

We also had green beans, yellow beans and peas fresh from the garden.

They have a beautiful neat as a pin garden.

It was good to get out and away for an evening, we usually get together once a month but with everything going on we have missed a couple of months.
Good friends, good food and a good dog!

What a beautiful garden! And I had a dog like that for a while! She lived with us while I trained her for someone else. She was a mix though and had no interest in cattle. Smart intense dogs!

Okay, the story of the steaks is funny/not funny! Glad you had a good time out. Neat as a pin garden, what on earth is that? lol

We have to get out or get cabin fever!

I seriously laughed out loud when you said you ate one of Buddy's mistakes. I know it wasn't funny for the steer, but the way you wrote it or the way I read it certainly was. That garden looks perfectly kept. I'm so glad you had a great night out. Good friends are important aren't they?
Blessings,
Betsy

What a gorgeous garden! Lots of deliciousness and nutritiousness in there. Whoops! It’s a good thing Buddy’s mistake had a happy ending.

Oh for a good farm garden!

My garden is a jungle.... I just happen to have big plants thanks to all the composted horse manure we use! I love it when the whole meal is self provided.
Buddy is very cute!

Well, Buddy helped many (other than the steer) enjoy his "mis-steak" -- and I love the pretty garden, too! :-)

Paula said...

That is a beautiful garden!

Your evening sounds so fun. Glad you two could get away and enjoy the evening with old friends.

Linda Reeder said...

Well, you can't do much better than that!
That garden reminds me of many I used to see growing up in the Willamette Valley. Beautiful!

Jacqi Stevens said...

What an impressive garden! Glad you got a chance to get away and do dinner with friends again.

Diana said...

That garden is exceptional! Wow! Plenty of veggies there, for sure. Buddy is a handsome guy... good doggie! ♥

That is a beautiful garden. I'm sure little Buddy felt bad about the steer.

Debi said...

Your friend's garden looks lovely and lush. I miss having a garden, maybe next year. Buddy must really look forward to your visits!

I walked over yesterday and petted Molly the cattle dog. Doug was out working and Molly was laying in the yard watching him sack up yard waste. She is very young and loves everybody. It is a new breed for me to know anything about but I like watching them play with her in the backyard.
