A River Runs Through Her

Sage is teaching Annie one of the most important things: rivers run through labs.  

We're close to peak run-off in Washington, and Annie is inclined to leap into the raging river after sticks.  Sage is holding back, realizing if she leaps in she will end up in either Puget Sound or the Pacific.  Annie, the mini-me, watches Sage and screeches to a halt before leaping into the current.

The good news in all of this is both love water, rivers, and all things riparian.  Great news for a fly fisherwoman.

I have a funny feeling, though, that I will be rescuing Annie someday.  And that is natural for labs.  I did it for Murph, for Sage, and soon, very soon, for Annie.

Murphy's day.
