Before Rain and Snow

Ocotillos

Dr. K had an AAUW meeting this morning so it was Willow, Frio and me on the hike today.  It wasn't a pleasant one due to the absence of sun and a persistent cold breeze.

Nevertheless, we did our usual route without once considering adding extra distance; at least I didn't consider it.  I'm sure Frio and Willow would have done more hiking without hesitation.

Frio seems a bit better on his journey to overcome Valley Fever.  I'll tell you it's a real chore for Dr. K and I to keep on schedule for giving him his pills.  In fact, I just remembered I'm an hour late in giving him the second of three Baytrils today.
