Saturday Go-Round

Observatory and tower atop Tortugas Mountain

Although it was in the low 40s when we started out this morning, it felt colder than yesterday's freezing mark.  Not quite sure how that happens since there was only a slight overcast and not a breath of wind.  We're 61 F. now--a very pleasant temperature for me.  Dr. K thinks it's too cold.  She'd prefer the upper 80s day and night.
