Almost Hot

Sky at start

Dr. K was comfortable on our hike this morning, but I was on the border of feeling too warm; Willow never revealed how she felt.  Did our regular route without seeing a soul; we did hear a dog barking once, but didn't spot it.  The morning outing was pleasant enough, but I'm not looking forward to the high temperatures that will be steaming in.  Afternoon high today is supposed to be 95F.
