April 21 PM walkToday was the absolute first day of the spring/ summer continuum, where there was nothing but abundant warmth and sunshine all around us. And after such a thorough soaking this past week, the change from cold and wet to blue skies and sun was a stark contrast.
Chester decided he wanted to visit the dog beach in Prospect park so we headed up to the urban oasis. I unfortunately had to be the bearer of bad news for him as we are under strict instructions from Chester's vet not so swim anymore in the stagnant and parasite infested waters of Prospect Park. So instead, we wandered around the park, smelling the flowers, and checking out all the kids, adults and other dogs who were either basking in the sun, playing soccer, baseball, or Frisbee, or enjoying an afternoon BBQ. It has been such a blessing to have such a gorgeous place for recreation, literally steps (albeit big, long steps, but steps nonetheless) from our door. Ah spring time.....
