Stop and smell the flowers…

…but maybe not each and every one.

With the start of Spring, Mr. Smith and I have begun a daily or every other day constitutional around the neighborhood. We stop about every five to six feet for some sniffing. I know it is good for dogs but it makes a walk a slow process.

Unfortunately, with the extra daylight, we are not the only people taking evening walks. A steady stream of people walk up and down our street, adjoining streets, in Downtown Clayton. Somehow, Mr. Smith is affronted by them all and barks and jumps on and off the chair, running in rage circles around the living room. It’s enough to drive one mad. As a result, I’ve started moving the chair away from the window and now, he sits under this chair, chewing my sandal to deal with this betrayal.

I’ve accepted that my sandal is now a chew toy. I hope you have quieter evenings ahead for the weekend. I am looking forward to minimal plans before a busy few weeks!!
