We recently spent a few days down with Ginger’s parents. In the evenings we walked down to the creek where, one evening, we saw a family of otters playing. We also saw several deer.

This quiet looking farm road gets a lot more traffic than it used to. And, blowing my own horn, that included me on a couple of early morning runs. Yes, I now manage to (mostly) run a couple of miles five times a week.

I discovered an unexpected hazard of road-running out in the sticks — being chased by over-enthusiastic dogs!
