A Sunday Hike

On Sunday I woke up just full of spunk and drawn to the woods. I approached Jody about a hike in the woods. As is usually the case he was up to it.
We nabbed Saige and Maya Rae and off we went. (after the big night of dancing the teens were sound asleep till noon+)
We had a nice long romp. I like this time of year when things are (thinking about) transitioning. A little ice, a little snow, a little mud.
The girls were excited for the romp.
Saige found endless joy in twisting cat tails apart and making the fuzzys fly every where.....including all over her hat and body and eyes!
We took a new path and found that it ended on a different road then where we had parked so we decided to take a few roads back around rather than retrace our hiking path.
After our 1.5 mile road trip the girls came across a small dog shivering in the weeds by the road. The poor thing had been dumped there obviously :( We jumped in the car and decided to stop at a house up the road. The couple there was delighted to come to the dog's rescue with a call to the local warden. When we left they baby sat the dog till the warden came. We were grateful for the opportunity to serve this little critter in need.
Good walk. The girls were cold and hungry by the end so home we went to make hot soup.
