27 January: Spring?

Well the sun has been shining and the wind hasn't been TOO bad - everyone around here is talking about the s-word: Spring!

We've been lucky enough to be able to walk out at our friend Shelly & Steve's place. On the weekends they come with their dogs, Bella & Fresca - the two girls are littermates and *tolerate* Cedar (just)! :)

For the first time in a very long while, we walked all the way down to the river. With all the warm weather there's been a bit of melting - which some dogs think is an invitation to get wet! I'll let you guess who took the (half) plunge - the open water near shore isn't quite deep enough for a full-on submerging & polar bear swim.

Mmmmm, fresh river water. Tastes like goose poo and cold, with an undertone of dust particulates.


Yeah I got wet! Isn't this great!



Bella was far more self-contained - she and Fresca declined to take the polar bear plunge...

Who you callin' silly?

More to come on our lovely springlike weather - also makes for good picture-taking conditions!
