This morning feelings were bad

when we traversed the lac, i felt sad

there is not much else this morning to tell

my back is still giving me lots of hell

Two roe bucks bounded up the hill

silhouetted against the sky

Milou bounded off toward them

thankfully not that interested apart from a scent 

in the bushes nearby

It was an early and the sun played on certain parts

it was all luminous and definitely lifted and warmed the heart

i met Meryl for the walk

Milou ran and we just talked

The sunflowers are out, fields wrapped in a golden blaze

a welcome vibrant colour against a landscape of greys

Milou welcomes a slight temperature fall

to leap, prance about and generally give it her all

I needed a first and then a second look

as this bird i have only seen on the pages of a book

I saw it on the lac, the other side of the road

it took to a tree as soon as it saw me

could be unusual but maybe not

i have to find out and go back to that exact same spot

We went early on a walk to the tennis courts today

if we did not go early it would be late before a run and play

met a couple of small dogs and a pleasant lady along the way

in french i tried to find something to say

By the time Milou, Marc and i headed for our walk

with brief interlude to Joe's, to say hi to people and talk

it was already  getting late in the day

i did not want Milou to overheat again, so we made our getaway
