Right now it’s a balmy 4° here, so things have gotten a bit warmer. The sky remains overcast, though, and rain is expected for the next 3 days. While it was still dry, Jack and I decided to go to the forest. We were hoping to find some sign of new life, but nothing is in bud yet. Nothing. So instead of a pretty picture of flowers or leaf buds, today you get to see Jack. He was the only ray of sunshine I could find.

Lovely photo. I laughed at “balmy 4ºC” and then felt bad for having spent the whole day complaining about our “freezing 10ºC” :D. It’s all relative!
I love the details of the fur. The gray hairs caught my attention, maybe because my hair and beard are getting gray.
Since Jack is such a good boy and likes to walk, I’ll drop this song here for him.
And a translation, for those silly English-speaking humans:
Song of the Walkers ~ by María Elena Walsh
Because the road is arid and discouraging,
Because we’re afraid of stumbling around,
Because little can be achieved by waiting alone,
Two fears are worth more than one hope.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
If I lost my life by being delicate,
I want to earn yours by being decisive.
Because the silence is cruel, the journey is dangerous;
I give you my song, you give me courage.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
We’ll encourage each other at every step.
Courage! Sharing our thirst and our glass.
Courage! Because even though we’ve grown older,
The pain always seems newborn.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
Because life is scarce and death is plenty,
Because there’s no war but the fight continues,
We’ve always been separated by those in power
But we know today that that comes to an end.
Give me your hand and let’s go now.
Give me your hand and let’s go now…
Kreator, thank you for the beautiful song and the translation. I love the sentiment and it sounds so pretty in Spanish.
What a noble fellow!
