Wetlands Boardwalk and Charlie’s Report

After an appointment in Winchester yesterday, I decided to make a brief visit to the Trails at the MSV. I happened to be at a medical building next to the wetlands, so I walked down the boardwalk. When I was there four years ago, it circled a pond, but the pond has gotten so low that it’s now a marsh..


I admired the tall steel sculpture of a great blue heron. It’s the work of artist David Groenjes.


I saw this frog in some shallow water. The water doesn’t really show in the photo. I saw minnows too.


I’m feeling tired so I’m going to let Charlie the beagle take over.


Hi! I’ll tell you about some things I saw this week. Look at this giant rabbit! I saw it from the car and I didn’t get out because it was taller than my mom.


We went up to Skyline Drive and saw some deer. Miss Deborah took me for a walk while Mom went in the store.

There were two days when I went to day boarding at the veterinary. I’d rather go play with Sadie at Deborah’s house, and I did get to do that one day. That was fun! I also got to go to a dog park, but no dogs were there to play with.


Today we walked around by the courthouse in town. It was noisy because there were horns honking and some people making noise and talking. I was glad to leave and go to the state park by the river.




I hope that next week I have some quiet times and some fun times too.
