Winter Skies and Weather

This first shot is an accident. I had taken a picture from the car window and accidentally touched the button as I put the phone down. I suspect we've all done that with our phones. Usually I delete those pictures but this one I like.

The next picture is one I took from the veterinary as I picked Charlie up from daycare. This was at 5:23 PM and the days are getting longer. 

Charlie usually goes to doggy daycare twice a week so that I can go to physical therapy followed by other appointments or shopping. This week I had to leave him in daycare three times because I had extra appointments, including one to an orthopedic office. (They said my hip pain is due to bursitis, by the way.)  Because of this plus one rainy day, he did not get to go to the dog park until today, and it was bitter cold. I bundled up and dressed him in his jacket. We didn’t stay out there long because a bitter wind was blowing. No one else was there, but he needed exercise and ran hard and chased a ball. He got tired enough that he took a nap in the car.

Here it is February and we still haven’t had measurable snow this winter. On Wednesday morning, there was a light dusting of snow, but it’s melted quickly. I took this picture on our first morning walk.
