Good day, bluesky. ‘Have been busy with laundry and packing for the holiday trip, but the dog needed some outdoor exercise so I caught a patch of blue showing through the overcast. We had bonus rain that wasn’t forecast, so a good day all around. Have a great week everyone.

Good day, bluesky. We have color in the sky today, which delighted me though doggo was much more interested in checking out the smells. Nothing was found requiring growls or barks.

Animal trail through the very thorny Harrison’s yellow roses, suitable for quail, cats, and not-too-tall dogs. The feral cats have an ambush hidey hole, which dog regularly checks. The quail mutter their concerns. The cats snarl if thwarted.
