A good rolling and tumbling in new spring dirt, when there’s no sand available, gets me clean and keeps away flies and insects. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) Washing my face and ears. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) This is hard work, but it feels so good. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) Finishing up all the noooks and crannies. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) Almost forgot my belly and chin. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) Last roll around. (©jane naliboff photo/Chesterville) Time to get out. Can you gve me a hand?
