finally here in bolton landing it is looking a bit like spring. i have picked a couple daffodils and thrown a stick into the ice-free lake for my goldendoodle to get. he loves the water and i am lucky that i live two lots away from a very popular public marina. but the little guy is so hair-heavy that i am sure he will be damp all summer. but he will be cool! we have walked to the sagamore hotel a few times and to both beaches. we listen to the different birds and watch the fog rolling in and then out. ‘fog creeps in on little cat’s feet’. bodie, my “doodle” loves to run and we have been fortunate to find a few open spaces. at the new conservation club, there is an actual walking path where people walk and dogs run and sniff. on sunday, we drove to lake placid to walk with bonnie, bodie’s breeder, part way around the lake. beautiful homes and a beautiful day. my dog pulled on his leash to try to keep up with bonnie’s four dogs. there was not enough room on the sidewalk for another dog and person. my back is sore today from trying to hold bodie back. i think we need more lessons in heeling!
anyway, i put the cushions on my porch furniture hoping for more sun and porch-sitting neighbors. ah, spring.
