Bliss



An early Spring walk on my baby daughter's farm yesterday. That's her in the red jacket. Gabe is pulling on Grandad, he wants to keep up with the dogs. Two old coonhounds my daughter rescued. Alas my days of keeping up with hounds have long since sailed. Way out front is #2 son-in-law.Home safe from Japan and walking his own land again. Aye, it's a well and contented man I am.

    A farm? How wonderful, I'm always up at the crack of dawn and would make a great farmhand.
    Glad to hear all's well that ends well.

    What a wonderful place to live! To be able to get out and hike in the woods after this long winter is good for the soul, isn't it?

    Finally, the weather has decided to act a bit springy. We did a similar version to your little march last weekend. In Hyde Park :-)

    Superb picture old sport. Gabe is a very lucky young lad to have his grand-dad still around.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Wandering in uninvited to comment... your walk in the woods photo certainly elicited fond recollections of my own walks with loved ones.

    James,
    Your photo is proof you are enjoying one of life's rare 'perfect moments' with your family. I have such wonderful memories of family walks on my parent's farm. Such a great photo. Rita

    PS - I'm still on a break, but will be back to posting soon.
