Sleeping in Past Sunrise

Freezing temperatures and a higher river level produced more fog this morning.

A more colorful dawn

While Jake and I were out walking in freezing temperatures at daybreak, the cats were still asleep on the bed when we got back before sunrise. They were still sleeping in after sunrise.

Marble says one of many advantages she has over being a dog is that she can sleep in while the dog and stupid paparazzo have to go on a walk in the freezing cold.

Almost sunset

With the rains comes the need to repair the culvert that we use to drive over the drainage ditch. I went into my one-man chain gang mode and filled in the holes caused by the rainwater ponding on the culvert. I paused to take a few photos as the sun was setting.

Fungus Among Us

Dawn is a little darker every morning. Soon it will be nighttime, awaiting dawn. Venus shines on the right, above the clouds.

Clouds consumed the Sandias at Dawn

Loki

It’s been wet enough to get some fungus among us!

¡Quatro Amigos!

Cottonwoods starting to change

Glenda

A dark and cloudy dawn persisted throughout the day.

Spunk: “I believe ‘il fungo tra noi è il paprazzo!'”
