Phriday Photo – Spring Flowers in the Yard
After such a dreary and long winter it is nice to see some colorful flowers coming up in the yard. The trees are budding nicely as well! Bella was enjoying exploring in what we refer to as “the forbidden area”. This is a fenced off area of the yard that we usually keep the dogs

Phriday Photo – Springy Robins
It isn’t spring yet “officially” but we can pretend. And although we’ve been seeing American Robins off-and-on all winter they are much more vocal and active now.

Phriday Photo – Two Hawks and a Dog
We went to Rock Cut State Park in northern Illinois this past weekend for some hiking and birding. Normally we see Red-tailed Hawks alone but this tree held two of them. Bella spotted them first; a true bird(ing) dog!
