Braving the cold
The morning started out at a brisk 13F. Bob’s threshold is somewhere around 10F. He sniffed the air, hesitated just a moment and then headed out.
Morning rounds progressed normally for Bob.
Karl took up his post in the rear side yard.
The sun came out and as there is a Winter Storm Warning starting tomorrow at 5 a.m. and continuing until Tuesday at 5 p.m., Karl and I took advantage of the sun and calm with a walk on Swan River Trail.
It was 19F by this point and although the sky looks very wintry, with the sun and only a little wind – AND warm clothes/fur – it was a beautiful walk.
We came home the back way, around the northeastern end of Echo Lake. The sun was taking turns with snow squalls by this time but we made a stop at the fishing access for a second walk before heading for home.
If they are right, we won’t be going far from home for several days – today was the day to brave the cold.
