The Girls

I took Christina and her dogs Nina and Gigi to Redwood Park. The "girls" were excited to be going anywhere, but were beside themselves with joy when they arrived at the park. The four of us had a nice walk, though two of us had to stay on leashes. Christina and I love cool misty days. So do the dogs. Not only was it a cool day, but there was a light rain that dissolved into a fine mist. The dogs stopped to smell things, as dogs do. Christina stopped to admire a flowering pear tree. It was quite beautiful: white blossoms blowing off the branches like snowflakes. On the drive back we saw fog over the hills. Both of us smiled. Fog, cool skies and happy dogs in the back seat.
