After a good hike up a familiar hill in warmish temperatures with a stout wind, I got nearly back to the parking lot before realizing I’d forgotten to retrieve a bag of dog poop that came from some other person’s dog. Went back for it, and on returning encountered a little flock of curious chickadees.
There’s always some gift to be had.
