A spring day in the Dog’s field. in The odd entries from life …….

Yesterday’s morning debate was is to wear my light winter coat or the heavier coat with the hood; I went with the lighter coat with the weather not settled with wet and windy or the dull warmish day! We were getting ready to leave for the ‘Dog’s Field’ and an hour of activity; well most of the party will be active!

We arrive there on the hour and the farmers wife ready to great us, or is for Ziggy as she is still laughing about Ziggy’s first arrival; leaving the car up side as speed! I wasn’t there on that day. While walking through the three gates to the Dog’s Field, I was feeling my light coat would be too much.

It felt a little close with a total cloud cover, I wondered if there would be ‘thunder’ Ziggy doesn’t like the thunder or the lighting; mostly Lola wonders what the bothers about! With the three gates closed the leads were off, Ziggy took after the ball I’ve launched across the field ……

I’m not a great bowler of ball’s so I use a long plastic device to send the balls high and long, Lola was content to wonder about stopping to sniff here and there, after a sort time Lola comes at her best speed to join in the fun, from then Ziggy’s game is to tack after Lola’s ball; hardly sporting with his greater size and reach ……..

Lola and Ziggy took half time in the shelter, there is no power to it but there are several flasks of hot’ish water and tea and coffee there as you chose. It was then the clouds began to thinner and the same time my coat felt warm; and it was then that Lola slowed down.

Looking about the field it looked defiantly spring, the trees had leafs or at lest leaf buds, looking down there tiny flowers mixed with the grass and blooms in the bushes and trees; spring is at its height at lest. The winter coats are going to the back, I’ve had my bed room windows open through the night; and in the field there was actively in Bee Corner …..

As we were gathering the dog’s things I noticed some blue above, not only springs height but sine’s of summer just round to corner; where’s my rain coat!
