Puddle Joy

There is much to be said for a puddle --
for a child with new boots,
for a plant with dry roots
or some lost, languid newts:
There is much to be said for a puddle.

There is nothing that's quite like a puddle --
when a dog needs a sip,
when a frog wants a dip,
or when I lack a blip:
There is nothing that's quite like a puddle!

The real joy was that it had stopped raining and there was no wind to speak of and it's turned mild, so we were able to have a nice walk, albeit under a grey sky. Good to get out and enjoy some exercise.

If you squint at the thumbnail of this photo you might convince yourself that you're looking down from a plane at a big lake surrounded by forest ...! No? Note to self: Must get out more!

Thanks for all the kind comments on my yesterblip when we never left the house all day!
