"To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself."
~ Henry David Thoreau
Very busy today doing "necessary things", having just quickly taken my 13-year-old dog out and back in 20 minutes ago, she suddenly became rather anxious, insistent, pacing the room.
"Do you need to go out again?" I asked, thinking she had more "business" to do.
And so out we went - she is mostly blind and partially deaf and must be taken out on a leash due to the retaining walls and steps in the yard. Slowly she made her way up the little slope and stopped, sniffing the air best she could (her sense of smell isn't what it once was either).
She paused a long while.
The birds sang.
And then down she plopped in the grass in the sunshine and decided that's where she wanted to be.
Apparently she DID have "business" outside. Perhaps we all do. It's called Spring.
