Another walk.

At last we've managed time for another afternoon walk!   A couple of afternoons have been given over to vegetable plot digging,  Sunday was cold and windy so we stayed inside and read, lit the fire,   while listening to the wind swirling around the house and watching birds flying past very quickly - they looked slightly out of control.  

Today has been lovely and blue and quite sunny but appearances can be very deceptive!   There was a chill wind coming down from the north and when I put the sheets on the line they blew straight out at right angles.  Needed 5 pegs on each sheet to hold them in place.  The weather forecast has a warning for high winds - 70 km/h at Guadix and Baza which are quite a way from here and high up,  also an accumulation of snow up there  but also for big waves down at the coast and seeing as we are in the middle of both those areas, we are quite prepared for winds here too. 

So I put gloves in my pocket, took the camera and the dogs and went for a walk up the pista  towards Yegen.  We go just past Yegen cemetery as there is an acequia there, normally with water running,  so Monty and Pip can get a drink if need be.  Of course, they never bother but both drink from the stream that crosses the track about half way home.  In fact today Monty laid down in the running water to cool down.  The cold wind disappeared as we walked and it was quite warm going uphill in the sun.

Looking towards Valor,  with a dusting of snow way up high....and the summer's runner bean framework in the foreground....

An almond tree in full bloom in the sunshine...

And last but not least - today's sunrise..... If you're thinking we get up early, no we don't.  This was taken at  7.57am.
