Beautiful day!


Simply gorgeous day in the woods, light breeze, sunny & 55.7F.

The only downside is that the lovely weather means the woods are more crowded than usual, but most of the folks are alright. Ran into one twit who couldn't control his large dog which followed us for about 1/2 a mile with him calling it in vain before I got fed up with it's slightly threatening behavior towards Holly and I had to grab it's collar and lead it back to him.

Tuesday afternoon

Didn't get to the woods yesterday, just went to Rye Town Park with the ball launcher- lousy weather (the snow was long gone and it had turned to rain by that point) and I didn't get out of work 'til gone 5.

But we're here today, and it's warmer with breaks of sunshine, 48.5F. They're saying 3-4" of snow tomorrow night, but it'll probably be like yesterday's little burst and melt almost immediately :)

Busy Sunday in the woods!

Lots of people in the woods today. Warmish (47.7F) with a light breeze; it was sunny earlier but the sun seems to have gone into hiding.

The clocks changed last night, so it will stay lighter later which is nice (although T-Mobile doesn't seem to realised it as my phone still says it's 2:47).
