Sixth Day Solo with Wils

From the trailhead
Dr. K had an AAUW meeting this morning so it was Willow and me on the daily hike.

We followed our regular route seeing no other nature enthusiasts out there.  Unfortunately--due to lack of sun and a breeze that picked up three-fourths of the way through our trek--the weather conditions were quite cold.

Willow never seems to mind the cold too much, but due to the recent arctic blast we experienced lately we bought her a coat which is supposed to arrive tomorrow.  I have little doubt that she'll hate it.
