Warmth

I ventured a bit farther from home today and drove to a trail that I only walk occasionally.  The first half of the trail path leads through a lovely forest while the second half parallels a canal.  There are usually ducks floating lazily on the water and occasionally bald eagles can be spotted high up in the trees.

Today as I passed a small hobby farm adjacent to the trail, a tiny curious goat came out of the barn.  At first I thought it was going to come towards me but instead, as soon as it felt the warmth of the sun, it turned sideways, closed its eyes and leaned into the shed.  I laughed out loud and thought how much the animals like us, have missed the sun as well.
