Doctor Appointments & a Hike

Today we had an early go.  We were able to witness a somewhat anemic sunrise.  I had an 8 am ear doctor appointment up north.   Then we went to see the dermatologist for Jim.  He zapped many areas on Jim's scalp and face with liquid nitrogen.  They're all precancerous but eternal vigilance is required.  Jim looks like he was attacked by a cheese grater. Years of water skiing, sailing and flying have taken its toll on his fair skin.

 

After returning from our various medical appointments, we went for a hike.  It was a lovely day, light breezes and highs in the 70s.  This is the horse tank, which is looking very oasis-like.

Warm weather is returning after the recent cold snap, and happy we are about that.
