It was a beautiful afternoon for George & I to go for a run/hike. It was so peaceful out in the woods! 

We did some trail cleanup along the way. Why is it so hard for some people to 'leave no trace'? I bet I was a sight running down the trail with a beer bottle in each hand. 🤣 Fortunately we found them shortly before we got back to the car!

It's been a while, but I'm finally back in the game.

Houston took a walk in the woods with us this evening. The dogs were running all over the place exploring, but he stayed right with us. He's such a funny cat!

Dark Dahlia (& light, for contrast)

This was one of the sunflowers that the critters bent over and munched on, but it decided to keep going and bloom the most perfect li'l bloom! I feel like there's a metaphor here...

He's such a big helper!

I'm crying, even as I'm sitting here realizing it's been 8 years. The pain just never goes away. I miss her so much.
