every second of every season

walking the dogs in the woods of rock creek each day gives me a wonderful vantage point
I got to experience each second of each season

it was not just a matter of walking in the rain, the cold, the heat, and the humidity
it was getting to cut tracks in freshly fallen snow
it was being the first walk the trails and clear the spider webs from the path
it was seeing the earth brown from months slowly turn to green.... a bud at a time

it is a sight that I will continue to experience with brutus
but
an experience that will be a little different without my buddy roscoe
