Nice Escape

 

A High 5 to our dogs this morning. 

They allowed us to escape the slop and attend a Gonzaga women's basketball game yesterday. 

It was a last-minute plan after Bill learned his tickets would be available for the Gonzaga-Wyoming game. 

So, with past great behavior, we decided to test Bridie and Foster on a new adventure. 

We would drive them into Spokane, park in an area with lots of open space, take them for a walk and then leave them to hang out in the pickup for two hours while we attended the game. 

It worked, just fine.  The dogs had basically slept during our absence, and they were just awakening when we walked back to the pickup. 

After that, another nice walk in the area next to the Spokane River, and we all headed home. 

We also missed a full day of looking out the window at ever-increasing slop. 

That was a good thing, especially for me, an unapologetic hater of slop. 

In short, Love dogs and Bulldogs, who defeated Wyoming, had a great day yesterday.  

It was lovely walking through someone else's carpet of leaves and NO SNOW yesterday near the Gonzaga campus. 

I've put my blog on Speed Mode this morning because every time I look out the window, I see more snow falling. 

Bill pointed out to me just a few minutes ago that most of the leaves fell from the oak tree yesterday, which is rather unusual. 

This morning, the bulk of leaves now on the ground are not yet covered with snow. 

So, my plan is to get out there as early as possible to beat the crowd on whatever additional snowflakes intend to fall today. 

If I do pickup soon enough, bags and bags of slightly snowy oak leaves will go to their winter piles. 

Today's schedule also includes a 60th class-reunion planning meeting, so it's a busy day ahead. 

Happy Monday.
