Pre-Shingles-Shot Hike

1st 2:  same Fishhook Barrel Cactus
Although it was almost unbearably hot out there this morning, it wasn't as bad as yesterday; two days removed from the rain showers and higher humidity made a difference in terms of biting insects.  There were still plenty of ants about, though.

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did our regular hike, all of us anxious for the outing to end.  Happy to get back to the air-conditioned comfort of the CR-V we rode home anticpating a cold shower before getting ready for our (Dr. K and I) trip to Walgreens to get our second shingles vaccination.

What a shock to see a crew of Las Cruces utility workers digging up a broken water pipe on our road; and an even bigger shock was the discovery that we had no water at our home.  No shower before heading over to get our shingles shots.


This & next:  Willow and Frio
