Springtime

 As spring has sprung and days are now longer than night times there is some capacity for evening activities work, critters and weather permitting.

 So after an amazing amount of rainfall in the morning it was rude not to go with the apprentice to see what effect it had had on the river.

 As expected the river was in full spate and we had to cross the bridge instead of the ford.

 Poppy on the other paw decided to use the usual crossing then in her old age mentalness forgot the crossing had an edge and deep water

 was only a step away.

 having fished her out the apprentice and I ate our supplies

 under the watchful eye of Rocky who had the good sense to stay dry

and together we watched the sun set. Perfect end to the busy day.
