Mornings

We get up together to walk the dog.  Sometimes it's dewy and we try and catch drops on our toes.  Other days we follow deer tracks while telling stories about baby deer and their mamas.  Today was quiet, hand in hand, watching which way Mica's nose took her.  Take the dog for a walk was going to be the time I got for myself, at a pace fast enough to be called exercise.  Taking the dog together in the morning is so much more than that.
