Today's word of the day is fulvous (FULL-vus adjective : of a dull brownish yellow : tawny). Do you remember the movie "Old Yeller"? The first time I saw it was at a school showing in maybe grade 3 or 4. I remember us sitting on the floor in the gym but surely that must be wrong - how could we have sat cross-legged for almost 2 hours! Or maybe they showed it to us over 2 days. My memory of the circumstances are vague but I recall the movie vividly. I was entranced by the fulvous Old Yeller and oh how I stifled back the tears when he died. I haven't seen the movie for years but I'm certain that the ending would still move me, perhaps even more now that I've lost a few treasured friends of my own.
We played lots of games, including hunting down our cat. He was so good at this game that his ability to track Fooling that he saved his life one bitterly cold Winnipeg night.
My pleasures today: managing a very short micro jog on the treadmill.

31 Day Challenge is "a photo that makes you laugh".
This photo of Carm makes me laugh and feel warm all over. He's just helped me with the big annual horse chore - putting up the hay. Even though he really didn't want horses once the decision was made to get them he supported me 100%. How blessed am I.
