Dreariness

dreariness, noun

extreme dullness; lacking spirit or interest [syn: boringness]

That pretty well sums up today's weather and the brown, muddy, wetness of the park. SO, instead of subjecting you to a dreary picture of the flooded, ice-strewn trails, I am treating you to a picture of Niko, a beautiful Corgi I encountered on my walk this afternoon. Niko demands his daily walk, so there he was with his owner and her mother, who would have preferred being at home to being outdoors in the cold, damp wind. Instead they were enjoying the benefits of fresh air and exercise...thanks to Niko.
