 Yesterday we stopped to
chat with Mac Daddy -- a man of few words who walks with his dog, Mac. We call him Mac Daddy because we don't really know him—or his name, but were once introduced to the dog, Mac. We crossed paths on the trail in the woods out by the railroad tracks. We said—isn't it a beautiful day. He said—yes it is. We said it was good to be out in the woods on such a nice day. He said he's been walking out in the woods on the trail for years. Said his wife grew up in the neighborhood. Said they courted out there -- all "kissie face and huggy bear." We parted with lingering laughs and silly smiles, giddy with conversation about what people you hardly know will tell you.

We stopped on our walk to talk to Ruby, a cute young (but not puppy) black lab. Ruby's mom then told us all about the grass carp in the lake. Never heard of them before but was able to catch a glimpse of one as it attempted to reach the grass along the shoreline. It was huge! Leave a Reply. |
