Midweek Muscle Memory

Sky at start

At first it didn't feel very hot when Dr. K, Willow and I started off on the morning hike; but it quickly warmed up.  We're headed for a high of 94F this afternoon.  In addition to the bounty of blooming plants we encountered during our outing we spotted Two-White-Dogs-Lady plus one, the Basset People and their five hounds, and the Pickup-Truck-Lady and her pooch.  After we got home Dr. K left for her weekly shopping trip to Target.
