"No"

No deer. No walking friends. No neighbors out and about.

Today we walked in the cool morning towards the big red ball of the sun peeking over the horizon.

Our return was marred by two dogs on the loose. And yes, we shouted "No, no, no" as they charged us.
 Dogs don't seem to hear me, but they do hear DH's "command voice" and stop short of a face full of pepper spray...or much, much worse.

I loved the visit with DH, the time with the puppies, the feel of the cool air and the vision of a brilliant sunrise.

I am disgusted by the speeding traffic, the litter everywhere, and the irresponsible pet owners who allow their dogs loose on the neighborhood (and who are not picking up after their animals).

Sorry, dear readers. I just needed to vent. Thanks for listening. [Other than the minor inconveniences above, it really was a beautiful morning walk!]
