Toby dog's adventure

Today we had a walk just not far from home but in a completely new location - a fresh rain livened the grasses and plants. Toby dog was happy! He romped through the puffs of grass, dug his nose into fresh new rodent holes - his eyes danced with mine in joy and gratefullness.

Near the top of the hill he rolled in bear scat, delighting in getting to play/be a wild animal. The scent gave him more confidence and amped his energy - the frolics romped higher, the runs were an abandonment to energy flow - ah! freedom !!!ah....

We meandered along a few trails, stopping to play stick games and just breathe the wonderful moist air deep into our lungs and veins - ah good memory - oak trees holding the earth from spinning too fast while an uncountable life forms held my bones upright on the Earth.

"oak trees holding the earth from spinning too fast while an uncountable life forms held my bones upright on the Earth."

Absolutely love it. Captures the essence of, at least, MY experience in the black oak stremn rolling hills of the Sierra foothills.
