Backyard Nature

Seeing as the sun was shining and the temperature up to 48 degrees, we just had to spend some time in the fresh air! Mom, Gizmo, and I went for a refreshing walk and ended on our back porch, soaking up the warm rays for a few moments. Enjoyable, but strange to hear all kinds of birds singing back and forth to each other, even robins who shouldn't be present until the springtime. But it's always fun to find traces of life wherever we go!
