HAZY DAYS

 POST # 661

Remember that old song by Nat King Cole, about the Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer.  Well I can't say that the recent days have been lazy or crazy, but they most certainly have been hazy. Each morning the sun looked like the image above, and every evening the moon (full today) looks just as hazy.

It's been like this for most of the days that I have been here in Washington, but today at least, it's just cloudy for a change.

Today was a perfect day to take Dora-dog for a walk, as the temperature wasn't too hot for a change.  

Here she is waiting patiently for the human to get his act together, so that the walk can begin.  And then we were off, on our favourite walk into town.  There are always plenty of places for Dora-dog to have a sniff along the way, and she never seems to get tired of the walk into town.  Today, we even met some of her four-legged friends along the way, which always adds something special for her.

But before long we were back home, and it was time to take a well deserved rest.

She's earned it, and I am happy to have been able to accompany her on our journey to town and back.  With any luck, our last couple of walks will not be hazy, but I guess we'll find out, starting tomorrow.

I say last couple of walks, because on Wednesday I will return to Canada, and once again I will have to say goodbye to Mary and Dora-dog, which is always a sad moment. 

grateful for every breath,

Paul
