On Top Of The World

From the prairie to the fjords (with a few stops along the way.)

Sunday Walk





Kevin, the dogs and I went for a nice, long walk this afternoon. The weekend has been gorgeous--bright and sunny and not too cold. We walked partially on the ski trails in the forest and partially through cute little neighborhoods. I noticed the anti EU grafitti as we passed under a bridge--usually people who deface public property with spray paint don't bother with those little niceties like an i dotted with a heart!
We met several friendly people along the way, and apparently "Lassie" is a worldwide phenomenon, as Kermit the Dog was oohed and aahed over and called Lassie several times. He answers to Lassie as well as Kermit because that's what everyone calls him as soon as they see him. He even played the part of Lassie for a humane society fundraiser in New York--the local theater held a screening of the movie, and Kermit posed for pictures with his "public". Unfortunately, our collie is much more likely to knock Timmy over backwards as he bounces around like a maniac than to rescue Timmy from a well!

    Looks like a picture perfect day there weather-wise. I'd just to use your blog to publicly complain about the weather here in Chicago - the wind chills are down to -30 and the high today is supposed to be somewhere around 3 degrees Farenheit. Aren't ya glad you're out of the Windy City :)

    Hi Jen, I just talked to a friend in central New York who said they are in for tons of snow and frigid temps over the next few days. It's so funny we are at the same latitude as Anchorage, Alaska, but our winter has been mild and pleasant--thank goodness for the gulf stream! I miss lots of things about Chicago, but the icy wind whipping around the buildings isn't one of them! Emily

    You'll have to remind me of Lassie if we ever come to visit you guys or vice versa. ;)
