Hi All, Seven TOWNIES, Carolyn, Jody, Jenny, Debbie, Janice, Leigh and Marsha, protected by the Canine Protection Team of Waldi and Berta, braved the perfect weather today and hiked over rolling hills that were dotted by wildflowers, affectionately
identified as “little purple things”. These are not to be confused with “bigger purple ones”. I gallantly took one for the team walking point and breaking up spider webs, one of which housed a spider, albeit a little one, that surely was ready to pounce on the next hiker in line had I not met the spider eye to eye and carried it abit, while I frantically tried to get it off me. Fortunately for the spider, I was able to harmlessly brush it off and fortunately for the hiker behind me I was able to convince the spider that the ground was a better home that the hiker behind me.
We have learned that Berta does not like to hike on rocks and looks imploring at Leigh for a ride. Leigh remained strong today and ignored the baleful looks.
Sunday hikes will be canceled after April 16th as I will be out for hip replacement. Yes, I can still hike, but the hip pain starts in the evening and worsens. Arthritis be damned! We are TOWNIES!
Until next time… Happy Trails, Marsha
