Thursday's Forest Trek

Fendler's Bladderpod

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I had a nice, longish hike in the forest behind our property this morning.  We came across the same bones we saw yesterday, probably from a Mule Deer based on the pelvis size.

After the trek it was back to finishing up the yardwork we started yesterday; this time my 40V Kobalt lithium battery ran out of juice two-thirds of the way through its lawnmower task.  Fortunately we have a second battery, and I finished up with plenty of a charge on battery #2.

Now we're kicking back and relaxing a bit before we take the "O"s outside for a little playtime.
