Black Snow

The mud season is here. Walking around outside reminds me of low tide. Gloves, garbage, and cars, are being unearthed from the three foot high mounds of blackened snow. I was in a low mood and decided to walk downtown to cheer up. It always helps. This afternoon I walked some more and needed even more so I walked to the pond. Lily loves being out and doesn't mind jumping into the empty yellow tub for a rinse-off when we're done. Lately she gets a few belly and leg rinses each day. She just indicated that she's ready for bed and has taken her spot for the night.
