The Crazy Lady In The Lane
Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:29 PM
Joss the dog is slow and creaky these days. Some days the moors are too big a stretch. So we mooch about close to home.
This morning, we lingered on the steep lane above our house. Shooting shadow pictures. Greeting the snowdrops who’d just woken like so many Sleeping Beauties.
Eventually, Joss settled in the middle of the rutted tarmac to chew a stick. And I flumped down beside him. We sat there for ten minutes or more, cosied up to one another, revelling in the signs of spring.
Until finally, a worried neighbour appeared at the top of the track and shouted down to us. Did we need help? Had one of us collapsed?
No. We’re fine. We’re just a crazy lady, listening to the birds, and a dog whose bones yearn for the sun.

Isn't it good to have good neighbours. Pleased to know you two would have been rescued had the need been.
