Wow, today was a BEAUTIFUL DAY! Today was also the first day of MSA testing… ahhh!!! because it was so nice out and we were all wound a little tight from testing, i “kidnapped” my co-teacher, esther, (who is AMAZING) for a little “field trip.” i grabbed two popsicles from the freezer and we both sat outside on the benches next to the blacktop to absorb some vitamin d and enjoy a laugh or two. that was fun! i decided while we were sitting outside that i was going to take my dog for an adventure when i got home.
we have a great “wildlife sanctuary”/park behind our house. a few weeks ago, when it had been warm, on a spur i took my dog through this park. it was still very much wintery, everything in the park was brown, it was muddy and slightly snowy. today was much different. here is a photo story of my adventure with jake 
this blue sky let me know that today was a great day for the park!
