I love a sunny morning with a hard frost. I looked at the glittering grasses and leaves as I drove Maisie to school and hoped it would be cool enough for them to last until Lily, Abby and I could get out for a walk. It was and we headed out with the sunshine just lightening from it’s deep, morning gold to explorer along the trail. We even spotted, and were spotted by, a furry neighbour. I think I saw him before he saw us. There was a bit of movement behind the grass at the edge of the lake. I thought it was a bird. Then this fellow trotted around the corner. He stopped and looked at us and then turned to leave when Abby saw him and started to growl.
