It has been a pretty nice week here despite, or maybe because of, the considerable rain we've had. I've worked myself up to the point where I'm walking either to or from work every day. Yesterday I walked both ways, a little over eight miles. In addition to feeling healthier and refreshed there's the bonus of being in the heart of Spring as it unfolds. On the town part of the walk the apple blossoms, tulips, and daffodils lend organized color to manicured yards demarcated with red-dyed bark mulch and plastic edging. In the woods it is easier to miss the display, a smaller, chaotic version of Spring with all manner of blossom and budding down at frog belly level.
And your walking buddy is back to normal with just a small patch of short fur to show for it. Welcome back, Zeke!
