The Poplar Trees.....

Maisie and I were out in the pre-dawn darkness for our walk. With no frost, it was almost mild. These two tall poplar trees are the first we see in the dark as we start out and the last, as seen here, as we finish our walk. Yesterday morning Maisie took a dip in the river, pink coat and all. She is a tomboy of a dog. We have miniature daffodils flowering in our garden..such a pretty sight...a sign of spring to come. Son Duncan visited for lunch today. He kindly chopped some firewood for us. Roll on longer days....
