today was so full. Full of life and niceness.

Dave took Sam and Julia to meet friends at the Animal farm, and called me while en route to make sure i painted instead of cleaned, cooked or other. :) This is what happened after that. :) My Red Winged Black Bird. Locally, i see these whenever i drive through the farms. They are usually hiding in the reeds, all alone, watching the world go by.



The weather was incredible today!!! Above zero even. whew. amazing!

We met friends this afternoon at a local conservation area. Saw a Raccoon sleeping, wedged into this lovely Birch (?) tree. All in all, a good warmish winter walk with great friendly friends. :)
