Take heart

Jilda and I walked early this morning. It was chilly, so the kids next door opted out to spend a little more time under their warm quilts.

On the first lap, I noticed the trees that line both sides of the barn road had grown thicker almost overnight. Today they formed a canopy that shaded that leg of our trek.

On the first lap, Jilda takes Taz along on a leash. Unlike the other dogs, Taz meanders. She looks for grubs, moles, or any deer poop she can find. It's her belief that it adds to her panache. 

So, while they meandered, I walked ahead, looking for photo ops. Midway down to the barn, I noticed this leaf that had fallen overnight. 

It reminded me that I should always try to take heart even during trying times.
