Awful at First

Morning moon
Dr. K went shopping this morning so it was Willow, Frio and me on the daily trek.  It was blazing hot when we started off without a whisper of breeze.

About halfway through the hike a small breeze picked up, bringing some relief.  We made several shade and water breaks along the way.

Two-thirds of the way through our outing the breeze turned into a light wind, which went a long way in giving us respite from the uncomfortable heat and humidity.  Nobody was complaining when, after the hike, we hopped into the CR-V for an air-conditioned ride home.
