Rain coursed through LDR-A arroyo
|
It was just Willow and me on the hike this morning; Dr. K stayed at home to finish packing for our trip to the high country where we are now.
The rain obviously fell hard on the desert where we trekked; all the arroyos had been running, things looked greener, and the Red Velvet Mites were out and about everywhere.
Unfortunately the ants were omnipresent as well, and poor Willow got bitten on her left front paw. We had to give her a Benedryl when we got back.
