We went for a hike to savour the outdoors, as every day without rain in Lower Mainland winter is a bonus.
The streams and puddles were frozen (much ice smashing); the fungi on the trees looked creepy (much photography); we walked briskly to keep warm (much chatter).
But mainly, no whingeing.
A first in a long time.
So maybe we just looked like a family out for a hike, rather than full scale war on six legs.
We talked.
We talked about moving house. A dog. Pets past, present and future. Christmas. Skiing. Snowboarding. Minecraft. Sarcasm ... as if you'd understand.
A brisk hike. Nothing more.
Nothing less :)
A family out for a walk together.
