Running at Night with Olive

After a long day spent taking down and putting up a trampoline and "spotting" young children from falling off said trampoline, I came home to my poor neglected dog, whose big brown eyes said only one thing: take me for a walk. So we did, under a full black sky of stars, the Big Dipper hanging above the Elk Refuge. Mars glowed red in front of us, acting as our street light since the one that borders Broadway and the Elk Refuge seemed to be out. Olive was a leash free dog, allowed to run and romp and sniff. And although it was maybe fifteen minutes, the smile on her face upon our return was priceless.

A good message that the small things, even a short walk, can be such gifts.
Thank you Olive, yet again.
