The breeze sprang up and the humidity disappeared--ahh, a morning for a walk in the woods. Just down the block from our house we have a small park where dogs can run off leash. Well, our beagle more or less meanders, stopping to sniff every weed and leaf. The breeze kept the mosquitoes at bay and freshened up the usual musty smells of a closed-off wooded area. The dog's tail was up and his ears were back. 
We had leaf hats on today--Ahmed getting excited about whipping off the top of a large weed with his whip-like branch, jabbing it and then making all sorts of temporary wearables with it. Quite amusing. This particular leaf also works well to swat mosquitoes should you wander into this glade on a still, muggy day.I took a picture, of course. The beagle kept sniffing along, oblivious to our silliness. Maybe the other man walking his dog through the same little patch of trees wondered a bit, but he just smiled and kept up with his long-legged canine. Just a sniff and a quick turn from Oliver to acknowledge the other dog--then back to work on a trail that never seems to end.
Lovely August morning. Just a week until Ramadan . . .
Refreshing .... Ramdan Kareem
