HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE PARK


The snow started spitting as we ventured
 from our warm, cozy car in
 Point Pleasant Park yesterday.


 I hit the jackpot this day
checking out new friends 
as you'll see,
from this Newfoundland mix ~


to this scamp
 (the puppy that is, winks )
who did a speedy 360 sniff around me 
and 
then took off 
like a comet ~


to this Portuguese Waterdog
who spun around me so fast
that I almost lost my balance
Fast ~ is an understatement ~ my friends.


This feller was smaller than me
so 180 degree turns are super easy
without any consequences
like slipping or falling down ~


however the best part was discovering the park pond


covered in a sheet of ice 
with skiffs of snowflakes 
flying across the smooth surface ~~


but the coolest part was finding these words
floating under the ice near the waters edge!

Did I surprise you?

HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYONE!
