Dog Day

"Let's do something with Lucy," Heidi suggested today, so I consulted a trusty local website to find the best things to with dogs around here. They pointed us in the direction of a state park which was the former farm of the Knox family who, along with their in-laws, the Woolworths, made their fortune in the early variety store business.

The weather was glorious and the park was perfection for pups-- we started at an acres large grassy off leash area where 20 dogs ran and played. Down one of the rolling trails was a sunny little pond where Lucy could swim, and we strolled through shady woods and across fields, past old farmsteads and houses and through a wedding until we returned to the parking lot, but not before we had fresh squeezed lemonade and baked this morning lemon madeleines at the dog friendly cafe on the premises.

Come to think of it, the park was pretty perfect for people, too.
