I took Sadie out for her walk one morning--it was early December, I think---and when I saw this view of a nearby farm from the back, I just had to go back and get my camera---I've taken this walk SO MANY times over the years, with little children, with friends, with dogs, and by myself---but I always love this view--I look forward to it, and stop and savor it every time....---on this early morning walk, the bank of clouds was just lifting itself enough to reveal a tiny strip of blue sky....over the years, I've sworn to myself that someday, I'm going to set up an easel and paint this spot, but on this morning I thought---maybe it's time I at least take a picture---who knows if I'll ever get around to painting???
....and here's Sadie herself---my early-morning-walking companion---doesn't she look heroic?
