Summer

It is the First of June, but the summer has been here for weeks already. It is warm and nice outside, if you do not stay for too long in the sun. For me and Dad, who have black coats, this is more important than for most dogs. The black colour does not reflect the heat of the sun, but preserves it. Our black coat is beautiful, but you cannot have all the advantages in the world because of it.

It has not rained for many days. We have a lot of water in the well and the vegetation does not seem to be dry, but a decent rainfall would be nice for a change. The nature often looks even better after a rainfall, it looks cleaner. I guess rain is bound to come sometime.
