The morning started out bright, breezy, some cirrus clouds in the sky and cool. The dawn sky was on display with the beautiful colors radiating out from the suns path, The clouds near the path were turned to peach color with golden edges. As the sun rise over the Sierras, the golden sphere illuminated the sky, warmed the air and started to burn off the clouds. The rabbits were grazing at the soccer and baseball fields. Labrona and her family were grazing outside the fence. The squirrels appeared during breakfast time but were disappointed, no inmates had food for them. Walked 5 miles and jogged the final mile.
