Leave a yard for five weeks in the spring and that's what you get.

Mostly cloudy with a lovely, cool north wind—not what I expected, but perfect for planting the garden and for trimming the jungle—and some long dog walks.

Pax did well, apparently delighted to be back on familiar olfactory pathways. No limping over a long distance. I'm glad to have my Whitewater walking pal back in condition.
