Hi all,

 We had a glorious day with perfect weather for a beautiful Sunday hike with Jacque, LisaS, Sarah, Ann and Marsha.  Not to be left behind today, we had 3 canine companions of Bella, Junko and Sheba.  We were able to get 4.3 miles with a nice brisk pace. We crossed to the other side of the Greenbelt and went on the dog trail.

This was a trail that Effie and I had discovered last year. Speaking of Effie, she was unable to join us, but there was some wonderment of how she would be dressed today as it was a little brisk. We were disappointed that Nanook of the North was not with us. Debbie was not with us either, but we are looking forward to her tales of adventure in Peru. I am sure there will be stories of heroic and epic hikes. I wonder which ones will be true…

We were serenaded by a few birds, but since I walk point, I was given the opportunity to see a field rat dash across our path. The mice and rats are coming in now and since I live close to the Greenbelt I have been seeing more rat action. Rat action seems so lame compared to coyote action, but we can live without another dog attack. 

Until next time….

Happy Trails,  Marsha
