James loving the one-on-one walk
Here it is, March 2nd… it was still quite early in the morning (about 7:30 AM), the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the air was crisp – cold, but not bone-chilling cold. What a contrast from the icy conditions we had two days ago. I decided I’d share this early morning beauty with James and take a walk down to the end of our road and back.
This wasn’t our usual speed-walk. (In fact, most of the time I walk two of the dogs together to get them – and myself – exercised.) There was nothing quick about this walk… the two of us just moseyed along, taking it all in: it was so quiet, so peaceful, and so beautiful… not to be hurried. We’d stop along the way for James to watch the squirrels that ever-so-lightly scampered through the woods – or to gaze at one of the streams running down the mountain into the pasture below.

James was as happy as can be – you could see it in the way he held his head, the spring in his gait, – he was literally smiling. It was a joy for me to see him so happy and to just stand still and breath in the clear, early morning air. Every day should start off like this…
