The River is Down!
– December 21, 2017 Toby –
We walked to the river the other day and the water was low enough that we could go down the road to the fields. The sun baked the muddy road into a thin layer of softness. It smelled good too and being such a nice day, I took off running; it was soft as grass and all the nearby puddles and mud and stench filled the air. I didn’t see any grass, just smelly mud and puddles. A beautiful spring day. We walked into the park and stayed on the road so I could run. I love running on soft surfaces.
After a bit, we headed off the road on the trail along the river. The mud was sticky and filled my toes and stacked up a little so I had to run a bit. There was no grass anywhere to wipe my feet so I ran into a puddle and splashed around. The wet mud squished between my toes and felt so good that I had to drop onto my belly. The water was cold. Johnnie just laughed. After a short walk down the trail, we ran into water. I walked in and splashed about and then it was up on my chest. I didn’t feel like swimming so I just stood there and took a drink.
“No Drink,” Johnnie said. “Water no good.”
I looked at him and lapped one more drink before strolling out of the water for a good shake. I knew I had a shower coming and it was worth it.
