Spring Day



Everything is very green right now and getting more so with the nice, soft rain we have falling now. Here we are waiting for the school bus and trying to stay dry.

I try to take the dog for a walk after the bus comes, at lunch and then after dinner. I usually manage to get at least one walk a day in. She likes it and so do I. Some people don't seem to walk their dogs very often. The dogs just hang out in the yard. I don't think that is abusive or unkind to the dogs, but it is a missed opportunity.

For me, walking the dog is a great way to get out and see what is going on. This time of year, it is especially nice because you can see all of the changes - leaves and flowers coming out, birds coming back, grass growing green and lush. Even in the winter, it is interesting to see the sky and clouds pass overhead and feel the cold. With a dog, you stop now and again and it gives you a chance to really look around. It is quite a nice little break.
