Dark Days

Some mornings walks are extremely dark.   There is no Moon, it is partly cloudy and the time is close to changing.     It is so dark I can barely make out the details on my two dogs at the end of a 10' canvass strap.   It is so dark it wouldn't matter if it was foggy.   It's so dark that I won't walk down the hollow...too unsettling to be walking blind.  I have other options.

I thought maybe on the very dark days, after 30 minutes of walking I would start hearing better.   That doesn't seem to occur.   It doesn't matter how dark or how long I still hear poorly.   I can't speak for my walking partners.   Maybe their sniffer works better after walking in the dark.

I've always been a little spooked by the very dark, but the very dark and the very quiet is a bit too close to my idea of death.   Give me a little light and a little sound.
