Brisk Mornings

December 3, 2017 by Kelsi

Today was a beautiful brisk December morning, Jamie and I were on our usual perimeter walk. At the end of our walk I noticed Missy and Negra enjoying the warm sunshine beaming on Young’s Hill. Negra sat on a log watching Missy eat the little bit of snow left on the log, Negra then also took part in eating some snow! The Hill was pretty popular today even with the chill this morning, everyone made an appearance at one point. A little later, after I went back to the Playroom to help clean, I spotted Annie playing with the new mirror in the Greenhouse. Annie was being silly and flipping upside down and inspecting all the windows. Missy revealed herself from the cargo net near Annie, which made sense, Annie was trying to get Missy to play! It worked, they quietly played in the cargo net and I sneaked away so they could play in peace.

    Love all of todays stories and photos, especially the first photo of lovely Negra with the sun bouncing off her forehead. Negra reminds be of a bird in the cold, puffed up and compact with her head down to conserve body heat! Happy she braved the crisp morning and I bet her warm blankets felt great once she returned to her sunny runway. And I love the very last photo with the mirror looking all Salvador Dali.

    Humans need to follow these examples of how to enjoy nature around us.

    What a wonderful day. Wander, ponder, play, sleep, watch the sky, watch your reflection, whatever! Love to the seven and all of you for giving them this freedom and happiness.
