Overnight Rain

LDR-A

When we took Frio and Willow outside this morning we discovered it had rained overnight.  When I took both of them on our daily trek (Dr. K had a doctor's appointment) it was drizzling.

The sprinkles let up and then stopped altogether not long into the trek, and weather conditions began to improve.  The cold front that's moving in will lower temperatures by 20 degrees or so.

We three had a good time on our outing; light was good for photography and we spotted several different avian critters out there today.
