Rain, sweet rain!

Within a day the lawn has gone from dormant and dying to bountiful and blooming. Some of the blossoms are quite lovely. Others are, well, you know how I feel about dandelions. The air is fresh, temperatures near perfect, and the cool, moist night air puts one to sleep like a baby.

This morning's walk was down Great Brook Road, the scenic dirt road photographed below. A car passed by and within seconds there was a fox standing in the middle of the road a few hundred feet ahead. Zeke was a hundred feet ahead and was told to stop. So there we were, staring at one another across the short span of road, nobody moving, not much to say. Finally the fox headed back into the woods, surely a busy day in store. We continued our walk assuring Zeke that he really didn't need to chase it down for us.
