Could Rain

Not contrails

Dr. K, Willow and I did a regular hike in pleasant weather conditions; the temperature was a bit higher than yesterday morning, but still a bit chilly when the sporadic wind blew.  We saw no other nature enthusiasts while we were out there, though we thought we heard the bassets barking a few different times.  For some reason not as many birds were hanging around in the bushes.  We got our exercise in today and felt pretty good about it.  Now (1:18 p.m.) it looks as if the rain could start at any moment.
