Minus 2

Minus 2 6:15 am and I’m out walking the dogs.
Minus 2 and I’m not wearing a coat.
Minus 2 but the dogs are happy to be out in the open.
Minus 2 and they are jumping in the mounds of leaves piled up on the pavement.
Minus 2 and they are happy, jolly and having fun.
Minus 2 and I’m shivering and trying to walk fast but the dogs are not interested, the leaves are too much fun.
Minus 2 my hands start hurting as my poor cracked hands crack and split more.
Minus 2 I need warmth.
Minus 2 finally heading home.
Minus 2 and I finally part company. I’d say it was fun, but that would be a lie.
Minus 2 goodbye.
