Hog, Wild(!) Ride and Greyhound Crit

What a beautiful post-rain shower ride!  The sky turned blue, forming a pastel backdrop to the waxing, gibbous moon.  All the vegetation was lush, spring-green after so much recent rain.  The privet - non-native, invasive species though it is - smelled wonderfully fresh.  A bluebird flew by, brilliant in the early evening sunlight.  I thought that was going to be the highlight of my ride until about 30 seconds later, when a wild hog ran in front of me! It ran away before I got a picture.

Here's a picture of Allie instead:

She greeted me when I got home. She loves running beside me while I do laps around our circular driveway. I call it the greyhound crit.
