Brief Respite

This & next:  Soaptree on the bank of LDR-A arroyo
Dr. K went shopping this morning, and Willow, Frio and I did our usual hike.  Weather conditions were very pleasant while we were out there--44F, plenty of sun and no breeze.

Things will begin to get bad later today as the winds pick up again.  35 mph gusts today, but Wednesday and Thursday are supposed to be far worse; additionally rain and, perhaps, snow are in the precipitation forecast.

We saw nobody during our daily trek, but a white car was parked in the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch lot when we arrived at the trailhead.
