Swinging back into life in the city

…is harder than usual, because life up north was so lovely.

Let me show you

( Yes, that's me in a jonquil yellow Kongol flat cap, curled in to the rectangular channel cut out of a life-sized black bear made of resin. )

( Me again swimming backstroke in Velvet Lake, looking as athletic as I felt )

( Bella loves being up high, in this case, relaxing on a Rhinelander dog park bench. Carved into the slats behind her, the mis-punctuated slogan, Every Dog Will Have It's Day )
