Forest Trek

Forest behind the cabin

We did a hike in the forest behind our cabin this morning, and we trusted Willow off lead for the entire trek.  She was outstanding in her behavior, never wandering too far, always coming when we called her back.  She had a really good time, and so did we.

After we got back I went up our road, removed the old "Private Drive, No Turn Around" sign and replaced it with a new "Private Drive, No Turn Around" sign I bought online.  The new one is aluminum, coated (supposedly) with a treatment that prevents it from fading.  I'll believe it when I see it.
