Hold Outs and Late Bloomers

1st 2:  looking back along LDR-A

Cloudy and overcast this morning when Dr. K, Willow and I did our daily trek.  It felt much cooler than it has in recent days.  We're headed for a high of only 84F this afternoon.

Did our regular route without additional yardage.  Saw no one else along the way, though there were vehicles parked at the Tellbrook/Sonoma Ranch lot.

We've had a few sprinkles this afternoon, but nothing to write home about.
