The lonely one

1/2 mile of lonely pavement. Solitude, I love it. 

Ah yes, blue sky and sunshine.  Our morning walks for the last few days have been rather dismal affairs with low clouds always threatening rain.  This morning however we stepped out into sunshine and for the most part a clear sky.   With some difficulty  I managed to coax the dog into walking the half-mile to the end of the road. On occasion lately he has been hesitant to walk in the morning.  He may have arthritis or some other unknown health issue or he may just be bored.  Who knows. He and I both are very blessed to have made it this far. This morning I photographed our lonely road.  The county paved the road a couple of years ago as part of an effort to eliminate dirt roads.  After walking on it as a dirt road for 10 years the pavement took some getting used to.  The scars from the construction are almost gone now and the brush on the roadsides is returning.  There's a field on the left-hand side of the road  where a black and white bull wanders by himself all day . His name is zigzag and I am fairly certain that he is lonely.   I always say hello to zigzag when I see him.  He never responds.  I guess he's not a talker.  Thanks for reading my blog this morning. I hope you have a good day. Bye.
