February’s last on the card…

Saturday I took the dogs to the dog park for a much needed walk (for me) and run for them. It was good to get out and move.

February in the Midwest can be almost anything, especially as we move from meteorological winter 2/28 to meteorological spring on 3/1.

Friday the 27th was amazing with sunshine and temps in the low sixties, not so a day later. Even with gloves on the overcast and low thirties froze my fingers. But it was good to move and watch Fern zip ahead of me, then zoom back. Nova stayed close but would chase Fern, then circle back. The two of them had a great time and both were quiet and curled up in the back seat on the way home.

It was wonderful to get out move, breathe fresh air, and watch the dogs be dogs and maybe burn a little bit of energy, too. I think the three of us were able to do all three.

It’s on the waning side of the day and I’ve been bust making the day count doing things I put off because… well, I just put them off. There is still life in the day and I’ve made the day count so far, so I’ll finish bu making the last quarter of the day count as much as the first three-quarters. Making the Days Count, one day at a time, because sometimes life is no walk in the park.  

What have you been doing with your walks?

For Brian’s Last on the Card.

It is Wednesday, almost Thursday. Fern and I wrapped up our business in Illinois and we loaded the car and drove back to the lake this afternoon. She was a fabulous driving companion and slept most of the trip curled up in the front seat or laid out in the back seat.

Last Sunday, Fern and I met B (my wife) at Stephan Bridge several miles downstream on the Au Sable River to watch the canoe racers pass through on their trip down the river to McMaster’s Bridge. It is a timing station for the BIG canoe race this weekend. It is also a great place to watch the canoes approach from down river, and if you are hungry there is an amazing restaurant on the south bank. Continue reading W^2 – pretty girl
