Sunny day in the park Kasey Doerner takes advantage of a sunny day and moderate temperatures to take her dog, Sophie, to the park. She multi-tasked by talking on the phone, while swinging with Sophie. Even the ducks were sunning themselves Monday was such a nice sunny day after the cold deary days we have had, the ducks were standing on the ice and sunning themselves. Temperatures topped out near 50, with bright sun in the afternoon.
