Good evening!
Well what a busy few weeks we are having! Tonight though, it was just her and me and a long walk. About time… I’ve been muttering about long walks for a while, but she just mutters about aching joints and certain individuals who chase midnight rabbits… I have no idea who she might mean….
So anyway, we went for a good long walk through the fields and stuff. I thought you might like to see. It’s pretty this time of year. She took the camera thingy with us as usual, then complained because I wouldn’t keep still. Well, there was too much to explore!
It is finally spring and there are flowers all over the place. She makes funny noises when I play with the ones at home… sort of Aaaargh!!! and sighs…. I don’t see any difference myself. They are all pretty.. you lot just seem to want some of them to do as they are told… a sort of floral sit/stay. You do seem to make a bit of a habit of that, you know. Honest, my sympathies are with the flowers.
She was telling me some stuff about the plants as we walked. She has a thing about nettles. Good for hair, she says, and soup, and all sorts of other things.. well, my hair’s just fine, thank you. And although I pretend to be interested, I’m not going to be making decoctions and tinctures.. I’ll just eat ’em if it feels right.
I’ll give the camera thing its due though, it has its uses. I have photographic evidence now to support my case against pigeons and cats. They lurk. They lurk and watch. And they are everywhere. It is the job of any self respecting small dog to make sure they do not trespass on my garden. Particularly the ginger thing next door….
I suppose the camera has other uses too. She is always pointing it at stuff, but of course, she has to see them first, which means she can’t walk around half asleep but has to be awake and aware. It makes her notice stuff. Which can be quite useful really when I am otherwise occupied…..
You have no idea how many pigeons and pheasants there are round here… I try my best, but I can only deal with so many of them. Still as long as they stay in the fields and woods that’s fine. I suppose I’m not much better with birds than you are with flowers. You want some flowers to stay out of the garden too.
I suppose we are all a bit like that with some things though. We sort of like to think we are in control, but Mother Nature just quietly gets on with things regardless, and you end up with dandelions in the flower beds and garden flowers in the fields…. and pigeons everywhere, of course. The pheasants, at least, tend to know where to be.
She did manage to take one pic of me though… mainly because I was watching that biscuit very, very closely. So, as I know you’ll want to see it…..
Now it is time to remind her she still has a tripe stuffed bone in her shopping bag. I can tell…..
Much love,
