We took a short walk around our neighborhood this afternoon. It was pretty warm today, and a few butterflies were taking advantage of the afternoon sun.

I hear we might see some rain on Monday/Tuesday. Although I'm guessing the butterflies would prefer more sun, it would be nice to increase our rainfall season total beyond ~13.5 inches!
