I have been walking the dogs consistently the last few weeks and I really enjoy our time in the woods. Today, it had just stopped raining and we had the trail to ourselves. I picked a few wildflowers as their colors made me quite happy. Even though it wasn't that hot, the beasts still played "water buffalo" and waded in the water. We also saw a deer frolicking on the hill - I love how they jump so high with all four feet off of the ground.
