Hi all, There were 6 TOWNIES, Kim, Leigh, Jody, Debbie, Effie and Marsha, who traveled 5.7 miles today over dusty trails and pungent creek beds, releasing the notable scent of evaporated creek water into the air. It was a scent that should not be worn. The humidity returned today but there were some fall blooms. We were protected by Waldi, Wonder Dog, for the first two miles as I am getting him familiar with hiking and commands. His baby sister, Berta, is terrified of the leash but did join us for about 30 feet. She is adorable but fearful. One can only imagine….. It is a good reminder that we help friends and those we love. How wise Berta is, to remind us of what friendship means. The TOWNIES also reminded me that hills are anything above a 4′ inclined. Mercy was rampant today as the highest hill was 4′, hence the longer distance. TOWNIES Singers were on display upon return, belting out a stirring rendition of Happy Birthday, a moving tribute.
Until next time.. Happy Trails, Marsha
