Winter Sun

Finally, today the sun returned.  It’s been there all the time, but for the last week we have had cloudy, drizzly days with a slow, soaking rain starting on Friday night.  I love those dark days when I’m home, but when the morning sky revealed sunshine this morning there was a new spirit in me!  I had to think that the sun’s arrival was like the frosting on a cupcake (corny, I know)! We needed the rain, but bring on a little sunshine please.

This afternoon was time for a leisurely walk at the nearby park.  It had warmed up in to the low 60’s and the air was perfect for a walk.  What a welcome relief to be back outside!

The little creek in the park actually had water in it.  What a welcome sight!

Sawyer was my companion – he loves to walk.  Today I expected him to be at a trot or all over the path, but he stayed right with me and only ventured into one puddle which I’m sure was chilly!
