My cousin Janet came up today for a little visit. We had a nice lunch and then Hubby suggested that we go for a hike at the local park with all four dogs. Since my knee has been bothering me, I was reluctant, but we went and had a lovely hike along the ridge line and then down to the small lake below.
All four dogs ran wild and free and for each step we took, they must have taken ten! They just ran around and around and around! Fritz was sort of the puppy keeper and he would continually herd them back towards me, but I did have to keep up my pace to stay with them.
The dogs swam and played in the icy water, and are now exhausted, and asleep under blankets. It was such a beautiful late Autumn afternoon, cool, gray and yet still quite lovely.
Best of all, I got to spend time with my favorite cousin, and talk, and do something that we both love, go walking in the woods. It doesn’t get any better than this, does it? Wait, maybe having it 15 degrees warmer would have been nice! LOL!
What a wonderful park to go for a hike!! how nice you can spend time with your favorite cousin. She needs a scarf. Well, that’s the first thing I wear when it starts getting cold!
I remember going there when Fritz was a pup. I have pictures of the fall colors reflected in the water. And Shubi was with us too! Love YOU, Mel
How fun! I’ll bet it was just beautiful.
Mmmmm… sounds like a wonderful day! I don’t think my knee would allow this right now. I’m having a hard time with STEPS!
Sounds like a great day! So glad you got to enjoy each other’s company…. I worked on the house most of the weekend, and did visiting with dad and kids too…. It was good, but went by way too fast. I can’t believe it’s only 12 days until we move! I’m a little overwhelmed!
Talk soon!
Love you,
Mandy
omg I made it in one of your movies! Woohoo!
Awww, looks like such a fun hike! 🙂
Ok,
I know I have to visit.
Love the Nature
That was great… A lot of parks here (simply put, playing fields with turf…) are NOT leash free areas. In any case, Greyhounds (Macc) are not allowed off a lead at ALL! He is meant to have a muzzle on, but we don’t as we feel it is an antiquated Act of legislation, that desperatly needs to be reviewed…
That’s truly wonderful, to meet up like that! I love the nature too…. Thx for showing us 🙂
