"Are you rubbing it in for those in the frozen northland?" you ask. No. I spent plenty of time in the cold and snow, and I feel for for those still in it... whether by choice or necessity. The Facebook Memory from 11 years ago was us driving north to Nebraska for Joan's Mom's funeral... and bitter cold temps (well below zero).
Today here in the desert is closer to the average temperatures, with a predicted high in the mid to upper 60s. An overnight low this morning of 38º. But, bright sunshine and blue skies.
It was after noon before Murphy got to go outside. He walked alongside me while I took garbage around to the far side of the house. Steph and Dan were outside, trimming Rubina's nails... Murph looked on, with curiosity. Then, he swung by their patio door to say "Hi!" to the boys...
That's Alfie and Tango inside... they don't get to go outside, but they like to visit with Murph through the screen. Then, Murphy watched Steph, Dan, and Rubina playing with a couple of her toys...
Rubina wanted to show her toys to Murphy - he was not a big fan of that big dog coming playfully close. Rubina is playful, Murphy feels the need to establish his male alpha-ness. He will open one of those big front claws while Rubina "dances" around him. Neither does the other any harm.
It was 67º when Steph and Dan were sitting outside in short sleeves. At 2:00 in the afternoon. Life in the desert.

A pretty sunset to wrap up the outdoor time today...
