Rainy weather caused the people who paid to padlock the park in the name of protecting their property. That’s right! The dog park is closed to protect it from the dogs. Saturday and Sunday I arrived at Waveny Park to find a dozen or more dogs wandering on leash outside the New Canaan dog park. [...]

A photograph of the sun rising over the Waveny fields this morning: Today is Veteran’s Day. Temperatures were in the low 40′s this morning, the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly.
