Grocery Day

Desert Unicorn-plant (Proboscidea althaeifolia)

75F already when Dr. K, Willow and I hit the trail this morning.  A persistent breeze/wind kept us from feeling the brunt of the searing sunshine.  We did our regular route, only spotting other outdoor enthusiasts--Pickup-Truck-Lady and her dog--when we were driving down Tellbrook Road on the way home.  After we got back I took a quick shower and then headed over to Albertsons for my weekly shopping stint.
