As someone who has never had short-haired dogs until our current pair, it's odd to me to have dogs who don't like the cold. My previous dogs would zoom around in weather like this. These guys look at me like I'm insane when I try to get them to go outside.

The only type of weather I really dislike is strong wind. Probably makes living on Kansas an odd choice.

Seeding sweet Joe Pye weed in small riparian woodland restoration. Seeds from my yard. In addition to tossing seeds by hand, I like to stick a few of the seed heads in trees to kinda mimic how they might naturally disperse. #nativeplants

Always a sucker for running water. Melting snow has renewed this little stream which had run dry in the drought.
