Had a good walk this morning... beautioful, cool morning even though it got up to 90 this afternoon (with even hotter weather coming.) We saw the baby bunny this morning, with no Mom in sight. I guess she figured that she'd done her job and it was time for the kid to fend for himself. He was far more interested in eating than he was in us.

The exciting this is that we saw several river otters this morning. Not that you can really get a good look at them, but you can see them swimming around like speed freaks, catching fish.

One of our sons and his wife want to walk with us, but we told them we leave at a quarter to six at the latest, and they have about a 25 minute drive to get to our place. They'll have to get up yesterday. We started today two minutes after sunrise, and there were already people finishing their walk. I didn't see any flashlights on them, but it must have been dark enough to use them when they started. This year, I am very aware of the sun rising a minute later each day... means we can get up a whole minute later, ourselves.

Now, if any a you folks ever make it over this way, you can take the walk with us and when we get back, I'll make a nice, big breakfast to enjoy around the kitchen table...
