Joy advisory





Wind advisory tonight.  Sustained 30 mph winds with gusts up to 50 mph.  Drivers may experience difficulty controlling high profile vehicles.  Puppy walkers may have trouble controlling exuberant canines on leashes.

ZigZag found joy in chasing the blowing dried leaves along our walk tonight.  ZigZag found joy in meeting Sandy, the eight year old golden retriever whose human was the only other human soul out on such a blustery night.  ZigZag found joy as she bounded into the air, nearly taking flight against the wind.

I found joy watching ZigZag frolic, smelling the woodsy aroma of a fire in a neighbor's fireplace and in coming back to a dry, warm, and safe home.   I found joy while sipping hot cinnamon tea under a fuzzy fleecy blanket.

Extended forecast:  wind, rain and possible snow for the next few days with high probability of canine elation.

Note:  I read this again the next day and realized a better title would have been Pup-elation growth!
