Early Spring

Early break for Willow

We're headed for a high of 78F this afternoon; we hit 80F yesterday.  This is mid-November for crying out loud.  None of the three hikers this morning--Dr. K, Willow and me--were complaining about weather conditions.  While we followed our regular route we spotted the Basset People + 1 and their hounds bushwhacking westward across the desert to the north of us; also, to the northwest, we saw Two-White-Dogs-Lady and her hounds.  After the trek we took a long drive listening to sports talk radio.
