What To Do On A Cold, Blustery Day!

Hi everypuppy and everycat! It's me - Ammy. Oh, what a great weekend we had. No, we didn't get snow like some of our friends did. The weather bipeds said we'd have snow showers, but I said no, that I thought we'd get slight flurries and well... flurries it was. Or were. But anyway, it did get really cold and blustery (below freezing and windy) and the obvious choice of what to do was "go for a walk"! Yea!

Mom decided Zimmie and I would go on the additional walk (all of us had already been on one in the morning). She grabbed her jacket and iPhone and we headed out. Zim and I weren't really sure where we were going at first. We got up to the area where we have some choices to make...

Maybe the Hudson Trail?

...and Zim thought maybe we were going to go to the Hudson Trail. We were in the right area - here's one of the sunflowers that marks our way:

Mom decided we'd had a hard enough frost and could head through a path in the undeveloped land! Ooooh, that's even more exciting! There are all kinds of wonderful smells in there!!!

We smelled all kinds of wonderful things like other puppies and coyotes, and we saw neat birdies like quail (had Mom been quicker with her iPhone, we would have shown you the covey of quail we flushed out!) and my favorite birdie the Killdeer! There were a few sunflowers growing along the trail, too; here's a look at one:

Mom didn't have the good camera with her, so all of these were taken with the iPhone. It's a good thing she forgot her gloves, or it would have been hard to take pictures!

Hee hee hee! Just kidding, Mom.

Anyway, as you can see from the photo above, we eventually got to where the sidewalk starts and we followed that. It weaves down a very steep hill (we had VERY much fun pulling Mom down that; how odd that she didn't take any photos!) and ends up here.
