Today Mom took us for a walk to a new place!
She had a great time walking in the woods with Sam Dog and his mama when she went to Maine, and she wondered why WE never walk in the woods. Then she realized: there aren't a lot of woods around here! We like the sidewalk and the park, but in the summertime it is hot on our feets, and we aren't good at hikey walking through grass. Our legs are not long, so a path is best.
She grew up in the Piney Woods, where there are lots of foresty places. But this part of Texas is called the Blackland Prairie. There are trees here, but not so many or so woodsy. And most of them are planted by people, not growed by God.
So today we went looking for a new woods, or what she calls "a reasonable facsimile." (But we didn't send a fax to anyone. I'm just sayin'.)
There is a place across the highway called "the duck pond" that used to be on a golf course owned by UNT. Now they have built buildings on it, and there's no more golf, but the pond and the ducks are still there. And big turtles! The grass is pretty short and not too sticker-y.
We walked all around and smelled everything, and we saw ducks (don't tell them but we think they are VERY funny looking!). Mom says some dogs bark at ducks, but we are not so rude, or maybe I mean so stupid: they are a lot taller than we are!
And Josie went swimming!
She likes that water stuff. Not me! No swimming, no way, no how!
Ha ha, she had to take a bath after that. But she likes water, right? Maybe not bath water.
Our Gran and Granddad are coming this afternoon! We can't wait!
Later!
