Oh The Things You See...

Good news.  Yesterday when I discussed the possibility of a walk with Gracie, I got the tilted head really, a walk? look.  4X.   As if.  She could hear me.  Awe!!!!   My girl actually heard what I said!  For the moment, anyway.  I test her throughout the day with not much response.   But still.  I'm grateful for her brief bits of returned hearing.  

Do I want to go for a walk?  Is the Pope Catholic?  Well... Like... yea!!!

And so, a walk it was.

We are having spring-like weather here in Western Maryland.  How's your winter been holding up?  No real snow here yet and no complaints on that fact.

Ummm...  is someone missing a support apparatus thingy?  Oh, the things you see along the way when you walk the streets on a winter's day.

A Nice Day for a Walk

A walk along the towpath following a harsh winter can reveal some interesting sights.

Gracie seemed thankful for the beautiful pre-spring day that we were having on Thursday.

I was getting stir crazy, ya know?

The winds took their toll on weaker tree limbs and left opportunity for firewood for some.

Well now, that's an unusual tree limb there...

Most of the precipitation had dried along the path; no puddles or muddy mess to deal with.  I'm guessing the high winds played a part in drying the land so quickly.

It still cries out winter...  but the temps were springlike and I sensed some promise along the way...

We saw a good bit of debris.  Balls, chairs, patio cushions, and even a wayward trampoline.

I saw a guy on a bike and I tried to storm him and cause him to careen down the embankment and into the murky canal waters.  But.      Fail.
