It has been unseasonably cold since the end of last week. In fact, both the daily highs and lowers have been lower than average temperatures for those days. I must admit, I’m growing tired of the cold, windy weather. Yes, the sun is shining…but who wants to be out in it? I can’t even barely stand to take a quick look in the gardens.

My dame’s rocket, that Mom got me last year.

Took the next few shots over at Mom and Dad’s last week:

This is beagle/spaniel mix Freckles. She was here at the shelter two years ago, adopted, and just came back. She’s afraid of loud noises, but is incredibly sweet and affectionate. I took her for a walk last week on the trails.
