Amarillo

First Desert Marigold and friend

A bit chillier this morning for our trek, but Dr. K and I dressed properly for the weather conditions; Willow chose to use her standard coat.  We followed our regular route seeing, along the way, both the Basset People and their hounds as well as Two-White-Dogs-Lady and a +1; the two hikers were herding pups.  After we got back from our outing the wind picked up; it's blowing pretty hard now.
