Skunk Cabbage Run
The annual Skunk Cabbage Run brought hundreds of runners by our house this morning. We took special interest as our son Nate flew up for the weekend and ran the half-marathon.
Jade’s 12th spring
I try to resist pet postings. But sometimes I break down. Both our dogs are getting long in the tooth.
For 12 springs now, Jade — our lab/border collie mix — has been a constant (and sometime annoying) companion in the garden.
This is how I typically see her, with ball (or more often Norway spruce cone) in mouth, ready to play. If I ignore her, she throws the toy in the garden cart, a bucket, or the hole Im digging and bark until I pick it up an throw it — only to repeat the whole process.
She still likes being outside, but her persistence is waning. After a toss or two, she gives me the look: Do I have to initiate the whole play thing? Will you think less of me?
And then she’ll lie down and watch me work. NIce company.
Great Wall Marathon
Email from our son, Nate this week. He’s coming home next weekend for the annual Skunk Cabbage Run. And the big news: he’s planning to run in the Great Wall Marathon in May. Yep. That Great Wall. The video has great scenery, but it’s not for those who are afraid of heights.
