Typical Chihuahuan Desert scene
|
Willow, Frio and I had a good hike up to First Arroyo and back before the wind started. We're under yet another Red Flag Warning from noon until 9 p.m. Blowing dust and sand is expected in the desert in the early spring, but it gets old.
We saw a few critters on our trek, but no one else. Both Heelers were on their best behavior today; they didn't even get riled up over the dogs we saw during our drive--both coming and going. I'm not sure what the secret ingredient is for that behavior, but I wish I could distill the essence and bottle it.
I'm giving Frio and Willow grades of A+ for today. :)
