A balm for sadness

[intertext]

Natalie, the woman who runs the daycare/boarding place that I take Robinson, organized a team to take part in a local fundraiser for the SPCA. Specifically, we were raising money for the Wild Arc wildlife rehabilitation center that the SPCA operates here.

It was a beautiful day, and a lovely walk. Because we raised over $1100 for the SPCA, our team won some nice prizes and got our photos taken - maybe in the paper tomorrow! In case we're not, or for those not lucky enough to live here in Victoria, here we are



That's me (of course) with Robinson on the left, then Natalie and Junior, Natalie's husband Michael with his Irish Wolfhound Fergus, their friend Ray and Ray's dog (whose name I forget).

Clio was an SPCA cat, so today's walk was in her memory.

Oh, and you can see more photo-highlights of the event here.

That clean, clear air--long sleeves--what an absolutely stunning sight.

Natalie had to lose the long sleeves quite soon - in fact very shortly afterwards she changed into her event t-shirt. It's always a little chilly here in the early morning, especially near the water, which this event was. Thinking of you in hot, smoggy soCal :(

The long sleeves are what I noticed, too! It's still sooooooooo hot and muggy here in Savannah, Georgia too. Ugh. I'm ready for our December weather!

Nice to see you intertext!
