I woke up this morning to a house and yard enveloped by heavy, white air. Rain was coming down, and the ground was covered with several inches of icy slush. It was hard not to feel as gloomy as the weather.
A walk in the woods is my antidote for gloom. In the woods the weather is almost always better. You are protected. The trees take the brunt of a cold rain or a harsh wind. And even if you do come home cold and wet, your spirits are high, and your mind is clear.
And how could that not be the case when you walk with a friend who exudes joy in every move. And you are her joy just as she is yours.

Great, happy pictures, JR!
I actually had to pull my focus back to your words because of course my first reaction was “Ah! There she is!” and then “Four off the floor photo!”–heehee. Sweet Karina. What a great girl. Sigh. Our dogs. I know.
Bisous,

Thank you SM! And Heather, ‘four off the floor’ indeed. If you google Salukis you’ll see that she resembles the flat-coated variety. They are very fast runners and one of their traits is that all four paws leave the ground when they run.
We have no clue as to what Karina’s heritage is, but a groomer told me to check out Salukis because our pup has such soft fur!
As you and I both know, dogs make everything better. Bisous to you and to Monsieur Ben.
Merci Judith! Bisous were delivered! 🙂
Awwww! I loved your description of being protected from the weather in the woods. Your writing and pix bring it all back, even in my current perch in the sweaty tropics.
So adorable. And what an antidote to S.A.D.
