After rain

 

Rain and the hosta flourish

Last Saturday in April

It's been very cold here, more like March than April. The afternoon sun coming into the living room feels extra warm and inviting. The dog fell asleep in my arms late this afternoon after we'd gone for a walk in the cold. As his body relaxed, I threw the polar fleece blanket warm around him, trying to give him as much comfort as possible (he's 15 now and having lots of problems). It felt so great to be with him in that moment. And that's when I looked over to discover this photo.

Back to wool socks...

 

Forty-seven degrees today.  Dug out my winter coat again and my wool socks.
