Saturday Crowd

Things are about to warm up

The lot at the Sunset Parking area was pretty full this morning, and people were out enjoying the mountain.  When Becca and I were about to enter our house after we returned home she bent her nose to sniff something.  When I told her to "leave it," and she did, I saw that there was a small, mummified frog with its head right against the front door step-up.  I don't know if it froze to death, but the thought that it was seeking heat made me feel sad.  I moved it so I could take a picture of the emaciated carcass.
