Well the hikes are a option of muddy or muddier. No matter where I take the dogs, they are guaranteed to come back wet and somewhat dirty. Hope you are leaving your towels handy for drop off. Can't wait for the swimming weather! But that does mean black fly season is soon. Speaking of which, the ticks are out. Get your tick treatment going, and check your pets daily. Ticks like humans too, so check yourselves if you're out in the yard or woods.

Well I'm off to do a couple of hikes today, where I'll be getting wet from above as well as the ground! Love the spring!
