SATURDAY 4th June: Hot sun, green shade

Cato:

Hello Aunties.  We had a lovely special sunny hot green walk today.  We are feeling All Better after AuntieKim's Trek, and Tara was bouncing well, but I found it a bit hot.  Mum thought I was panting A LOT, so we stopped to drink three times, and Mum Calming Signaled Tara so she didn't bounce on me too much.  Dad is home a lot for a bit (annual leave, says Mum) so we have him in the pack walks too, which we like.  

Sorry to warn you, but there is flower stuff at the end.  Mum insists.  Very stinky.  Looks like it will be stinky for weeks, cos roses last for AGES, don't they?

Come on!  This is the way:

Ooh look!   A REALLY sniffy branch!

We walked all the way around the outside of the Town Park, cos that was cooler than if we stuck to the paths.  Mum says the park is a horseshoe shape, and that you will understand that.  I don't.

We also went to look at the rabbits again!  They sniff VERY interesting.

and this was a nice Yorkie Lady we met.  Tara kept her tail down, but she liked the sparkly collar.

Tara:

We went Duck Hunting, but they were all sneakily hiding on the water. :(

This is Me and Dad on the bench, with Cato being thirsty.  Mum had taken my sprouts out by this time, cos I made one look a bit weird when I scratched it.

This is me asking for a rest and a drink.

Mum:

And now for the roses. :cheezy: I LOVE roses.

The park has a rose garden of massed beds, which is only just coming into flower, and a few rose obelisks scattered around...

What a beautiful sunny day to enjoy a walk. 

I would love to lean in and sniff the Rose, the red against the green leaves make it stand out.

You could almost feel the cool air under the shade trees.......beautiful old trees.......love the rose gardens......here is where we need a scratch and sniff app to smell those roses......I think out of all your parks Town Park is my favorite. It looks like you had a beautiful day for a walk.

How is your orange rose doing in YOUR garden?

Cato:  Well our rose is stinky.  But not as stinky as the Town Park roses, I am glad to say.  Mum was hoping it would be stinkier, but I am glad.  We already have lavender and other smells.   Makes it hard to spot the monster and ghost and cat smells.  We don't need too much rose as well.  Mum says the orange colour softened to a nice soft salmon, just as hoped.

By the way Aunties, we have another blog to do for yesterday's walk. Mum spent far too much time in the splashy pool, and gardening, and cooking and stuff yesterday, so she wouldn't take dictation.  I tried to get her to do it, cos I knew you might be worried, but she said you wouldn't be worried for one day.  And we will catch up.  And, best of all, we had 2 WALKS yesterday.  It was brill.
