A beautiful day, with lots of fall color on the Kal-Haven Trail. Bernie was a happy boy!

Walking in our neighborhood, on another unseasonably warm day (77°? 78°?). Bernie looks dapper surrounded by grape hyacinths, and *look* at those daffodils!

My sweet boy, chilling among fallen leaves.

Heat wave! 33° and sunny for our walk today. Bernie also appreciated the couch time afterwards.

Tree trimmers have been busy in our neighborhood, although these trunks suggest more than “trimming.” They left a perfect perch for Bernie!

Our walk today featured warm temps (55°!) and sunshine. Bernie and I approve.

The news is overwhelming, so here’s a picture of a beagle instead. Breathe.

Perfect fall weather, and a lovely walk. Not much color yet, but plenty of dried leaves on the ground (and a surprising number of ticks!?!).

Another beautiful spring day, perfect for a walk at the arboretum.

A few days ago, temps were in the 60s and the sunshine was lovely. Today temps were back in the 30s, it was snowing, and I once again donned my winter coat (Bernie felt no need for his coat). Such is late winter in Michigan.

With temps in the upper 30s, Bernie and I enjoyed a walk at Kleinstuck Preserve. The path was well-packed, but not icy. Bernie found smells enough to thrill a beagle heart.

I can’t remember the last time Bernie and I walked on the #KalHavenTrail It was delightful to be back there today - although, as expected, it was *really* muddy. It was also 55°!!!!

Lots of snow! There’s not yet a good path thru the park, so Bernie and I stuck to the roads. The tire tracks thru unplowed snow give a sense of how deep it is - a bit much for Bernie!

Photos from a quick walk at #KleinstuckPreserve. We saw several deer with their fawns. Bernie was polite and did not bark at them - he only howled one time, our whole walk, and that was when we met two ladies who apparently weren’t paying him enough attention.

Bernie enjoyed the sunshine on a beautiful day. It was t-shirt weather (64°), but there’s still some ice on the marsh in the background.

Bernie, fresh from the groomer, looking dapper for his walk!

Bernie and I found peace and quiet at the arboretum today. Plus, I got to pet a friendly bulldog and a regal collie (Bernie just wanted to walk and smell stuff).

Our old man was delighted to explore Lillian Anderson Arboretum today. The trails were sloppy, but not at all icy - no surprise, since it was 50° out!

Beautiful day for a walk - sunny with fresh snow - but so cold!!! In the car, Bernie complained about his coat, but once we were walking, he didn’t seem to mind. Now he’s napping on the couch, and I’ve got a mug of hot chocolate.

A woman paused on the trail while I tried to get Bernie to look at me. I apologized, “He’s not very cooperative.” She countered, “But he’s very handsome!” Indeed.

Here’s a picture of our happy boy, from yesterday’s walk. (He was pretty sure I had a treat in my pocket; he was right!)
Also, three blooms on our Chicago Peace rose bush. It is thriving this year (no thanks to me)!

Bernie and I went to the arboretum today. It felt like summer - 80°! - but that shouldn’t last. The bloodroots apparently appreciated the warmth. We also saw a parade of 7 deer crossing the path ahead of us!

Bernie and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk on the Kal-Haven Trail. The sun was low, the light was lovely, and Bernie was a Happy Boy.
