Two long walks in one weekend

As I mentioned in previous posts, Cassie got not one but two long walks over the weekend. On Friday we did a 5½ km loop around the neighborhood and wound up at Begyle for one beer (or a handful of liver treats, depending on species). And yesterday we drove out to Morton Arboretum and did a winding 8½ km loop with Cassie's friend Kelsey. Pity about the weather:

Today's weather is about the same, but alas Cassie and I have only gotten 45 minutes of walkies so far. Between work and the first chorus rehearsal of the season she may get a full hour, but only just. Maybe I can sneak out tomorrow when it's a couple degrees warmer?
