Climbing High

1st 2:  mountain sunrise

Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I did quite the strenuous hike in the forest behind our cabin this morning; we climbed higher and went further than we have before.  The extra exercise was good for all of us.

We were a bit surprised at how warm it felt during our trek; both Dr. K and I were overdressed.  By the time we got back to the cabin we were almost hot.

After lunch we took Frio and Willow out into the front yard; by then I was wearing a short-sleeve shirt and shorts.  It felt a bit chilly in the shade, but I was able to step into the sunshine while playing ball with Frio so I really didn't mind the temperature.
