Now and then you meet someone so filled with wonder at the way you live that it just renews the joy you feel at living in the country.
Yesterday it was moderately cold on our hill -- about 3 degrees but sunny and clear. Two thirty something women from NYC walked past the house having stumbled and slid their way down the old logging trail above us. Molson, my Alpha male golden retriever, gave a challenge woof from the porch and the women just dropped to their knees with the arms held wide and delighted grins on their faces! Of course that was too much for my four goldens; they all rushed over to get their ration of ear rubs and butt scratches. Those women were grinning from ear to ear -- seems they lived in a tiny city apartment and couldn't have pets, but they sure enjoyed mine!
We filled them with hot tea before giving them directions to their destination. This morning there was a thank you note and four big dog biscuits in our mail box!
