Beautiful Days

Minnesota has been gorgeous these days. The weather is cool, with cooler winds, hot sun and shady trees. None of the nasty blood sucking bugs are out yet, so we have free reign of the woods!

Seven members of my family, including me, went down to the state park and walked for about 3 hours, around 4 miles. We had brought the dogs, so it was mostly fun to see them running around - greeting people, sticking their noses into interesting spots, and basically pulling us along at a comfortable pace. Most people would walk by quicker as I held Queen close to me - she is the friendliest - but well behaved. Well, except for that time she decided the little old lady was short enough to be a child and wanted to jump onto her. I had the leash pulled close to me, so all she did was choke herself. I hate seeing the people jump if one of the dogs got too excited. I would gusee about five out of 30 stopped an petted the dogs.

The dogs = One small sized Collie, One Spaniel, and one Yorkshire Terrier (this one looks exactly like Nicky!).
