It was a cold Christmas morning
And the reeds caught fire in the rising sun.
As the sky spread its golden glow,
Simmie broke through the ice for a refreshing swim.

In the post ‘Cycling with dog’ dog’s name is no accident. Remembering Oscar Ruby and I decided to put that name knowing that you’d realize you detail. I’ve always liked the golden retriever.
That is, the post has been a gift to you, not a coincidence.
