  The Flagger was outside of Tenino for a few days. The first photo captures a moment on a January morning in the country, fog, sun, firs, and an eagle, soaring above. The second is deceptive.

She ambled around the large fenced lot, sniffing here and there, checking for smells, still growing her brain.  A short time later, the door sounded again, and an older man stepped out with a worn, green tennis ball in his hand.  He, too, was etched with a patina of silver. She looked up, giving wags, as her dear pal approached and gave her some pats. They wandered around together for a bit. Then, he threw the ball for her.  As I watched, in my mind's eye, I saw the puppy and the younger man, joyfully chasing sticks and balls.  Puppy, all legs and clumsiness, ...
