A Popular Mailbox

When we are just walking the neighborhood sidewalks, we often pass what is obviously a very popular p-mail box for all the local dogs!

What gives it away, do you think?

We're Bored! (and maybe boring, too!)

We live in a neighborhood of sidewalks, paved walking trails, and as you've seen many times, the W&OD linear park. Well, there's only so many times you can walk the same route and not start to feel a bit of ennui. It also doesn't help that the W&OD is fairly overgrown right now and is a horrible hotbed of ticks!

So this morning, I threw Jimmy and Wilson in the car and drove to another of our man-made lakes. This one is completely surrounded with houses, townhomes and condos. The paved trail circles the whole lake and is probably at least a mile around. With so much housing nearby, it is also a busy trail. Joggers, walkers, a few bikes and of course lots of dogs. I had hoped to make it all the way around, but the lure of P-mail was much too strong!  The boys had to sniff just about every blade of grass, lamp pole, you-name-it, so we made no progress whatsoever! Of course, needing to respond to all that P-Mail, both guys had empty bladders in no time! So, a much shorter than desired (by me) walk didn't really matter....

Here are a couple of shots from the walk.......

We need to do something new and exciting soon, or I fear a blogging break is imminent! Of course there are still a few old headers to share......
