It was a beautiful sunny day today, a day that demanded a walk outside in the cool crisp spring air, a day to head for the river and wander the paths. Mind you, those river paths are treacherously icy right now with daytime thawing that morphs into nighttime freezing. Under the thin layer of the last light snowfall earlier this week, glare ice lurks, waiting to catch the unwary and send them sprawling. Even surefooted Libby had her work cut out for her staying on all four of her feet in some areas. But it was worth it, worth every slip and slide, just to be out breathing the fresh air, and enjoy the unfettered exuberance of the border collie flying over the paths, rolling in the snow, dipping in the frigid river water, sliding on the icy shore and chasing her boomerang down the path. Spring is here, the snow is melting. And if you are a border collie, life doesn't get any better than this.
