Shadow Tuesday this week. She loves to take a walk and check the mailbox. [View all]

Shadow was having a lazy day —

until I asked "Do you want to go check the mail?" (Ask a silly question.)

We live on a dead end gravel road with almost no traffic.
Our walk is about a half—mile roundtrip.
On this day we cast shadows heading out and down the hill.


It's quiet where we walk. Shadow likes getting out of the house.



Shadow is attuned to squirrels and birds. She looks up at any sounds.




She's always sniffing,

And looking.

And looking,

And sniffing.

We live on Antler Rd. which branches off from Cleveland Rd.

Our destination, where Laurie put up a big mailbox (5325), so we need not check it daily.

It's a pretty spot and Shadow likes to hang around.



We started back.

We were headed toward the tiny blue spot of sky beneath the trees way up the road.

We always pass by this tree that seems rooted in rock.

Our walks give good exercise for both of us. Plus Shadow loves looking around.

We came to the top of the hill. Our house was visible beyond the trees.

We stepped inside and handed Laurie the mail. Shadow konked out.

As always, it had been a good walk.
Thanks for coming along. Shadow shall see you next Monday with her KC.
