Single cane 50:00 [1]
@ Turee with B & W - windy west wind. Later at Kimball, less wind, peepers in adjacent swamp were vociferous. May is halfway over. Still no Strava, forgetfulness to blame.

Single cane 34:34 [1] 0.7 mi (49:22 / mi)
At Nottingcook with W around 6:30. Warm day, rain imminent. Strava was offloaded or whatever happens when phone storage is full up. Happens fm time to time until I clean house best I can.

Walk with W around 6p to bog off Stoneybrook. Walk seemed much easier than the last which was my first post-op walk there. Ups & downs and irregularities were of lesser focus as before. Very pleasant evening, some wind in the trees now & then.
W. walked off when the gate was accidentally left open - first time. Beth drove off to look in the neighborhood. I stayed home whistling loudly now & then which works if she's within distance. Beth came back 10' later & then went in the woods out back to look. I drove off and eventually found her sitting in the passenger seat of a young women’s car (“I can’t leave her here”) a few hundred yards up the road. She’d called the police who came just as I was driving back.

Single cane (Single cane) 40:20 [1] 1.1 mi (36:40 / mi) +25m 34:15 / mi
With Willow on a leash end of day. Didn't want woods/bugs so elected for the road. Walking the dog who wants to stop and sniff all too often isn't for me, especially getting tugged too much. Venue where we can move according to our separate wills is sensible. Had a brief sun shower with some hail. It was dark/rainy midday but improved by 4-5pm.
As I started this entry, I looked up saw a bear, looked again and there were four, mother and 3 cubs. Hard to get them in one frame, Willow's barking was causing consternation and their spreading out.

Br. Londonderry Tkpe. Still windy, not to cold. Walked the route from the other day, marveling at the change and the small brook that roared. Wonder what happened to the beavers, suddenly homeless. Forgot to stop Strava.
Last BG a year ago Mother's Day. It was my last and I finished last of those who completed the course. 41 years ago, I ran my first, finishing first. We got Willow on Mother's Day, a year ago - the same day as the BG.
