On the Memorial Day holiday, last Monday, my husband and I took a few of our family four-leggers on a hike. My husband walked our two 50 pounders while I walked our 1400 pounder. We all enjoyed the trail and got some much needed exercise. Misty was a good hiking companion. She matched her pace to mine and didn't spook at all. I was hoping to come upon some mountain bikers, but no such luck. We did, however, see a man and a woman riding a tandem bicycle along a nearby road. Misty gave them a look but didn't get disturbed by the odd 2 headed creature cruising by.
It was lovely to see the new wildflowers awakening from their winter sleep and arising from their dry pine needle beds.
Spring has finally sprung!

That sounds so nice - just walking, and seeing the flowers. I wonder what my horse would make of a tandem bike!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for some exercise and fun. Pretty flowers too.
ReplyDeleteGood idea and good exercise for all involved. And a great way to introduce "new" things in a more controlled environment.
ReplyDeleteWhat are those flowers? They are gorgeous!
That was a nice way to both get company, and see how Misty behaved in new surroundings. Beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lilly, Grey, Jen, Horse. I hope to hike with both the horses more often. Gets me moving too.
ReplyDeleteNice that you can all get out together and enjoy! We've been taking our two young boys for walks as well this spring, and will continue until they are broke to ride. At first, I found it odd - but it makes sense if you think about it. If they can't handle walking a trail, they won't do well with someone on their back.
