It's been an old gray day today. The rain moved out in the early morning hours, but it didn't take the clouds with it.
Even though it's been cloudy, the air was heavy with humidity making it hard to breathe at times.
We tried to walk just after lunch, but the neighbor up the road has a new rescue chihuahua that doesn't respect boundaries. It came charging into the field behind our house acting aggressively. I wasn't worried because it weighed about 12 pounds. But, Ol' Hook is deaf and tips the scales about 95 pounds, took a dim view of the behavior.
It was all Jilda and I could do to prevent a disaster in the making. We finally got our dogs back in our fence and tried to shoo the little dog home, but he wasn't having any part of it.
I tried to call the neighbor but her number had changed. I went to her back fence and shouted for her but nada. Finally, I called someone in her family and told them to contact her about the situation. Hopefully, she will keep the little critter in her house and yard.
By late afternoon, you could see promises of sunlight which was enough for Jilda and me to take the dogs out for a stroll around the property.
The kids came over and we all walked for a while.
I think I mentioned a few days ago that the apple tree had finally bloomed, but I don't think I posted a pic. Below is one that I shot today.
