We woke this morning to rain and more rain. It had rained steadily during the night, and now it seemed likely to rain all day. When we got a break in the weather at 11:00 a.m., we headed out to hike around Martin Lake, one of the park's two lakes. The trail around the lake is asphalt, which is why we chose it rather than the Hogback Trail we had hoped to hike.
It was overcast but otherwise mostly pleasant. We saw deer tracks, but no deer. Yesterday we saw lots of magpies and robins, but they were making themselves scarce this morning.
Chris and Shawn had to make an early morning trip to the doggy emergency room. Talulah had managed to get a round bone stuck on her lower jaw, past her canine teeth. She's home now with antibiotics and pain medications and orders to stay quiet. Chris says the sedation made her loopy. He and Anara called this afternoon.
I talked to Ed today. He has a new job, starting tomorrow, working for eLead, training dealerships around the country in the use of their software systems for managing customer relations.
This afternoon, the sun began to peek through the clouds. Soon it was a mild, bright sunny day. We couldn't resist going on a short hike on the Hogback Trail and taking photos of the Spanish Peaks. Marvelous scenery, and the piñon pines put such a refreshing odor in the air.
Tomorrow we'll go to Great Sand Dunes Oasis. It's right at the entrance to the Great Sand Dunes National Park.
