Breath of Fresh Air

We welcome nice days with open arms. So does Leroy. Our nice little pup much enjoys days that we play outside. With him. When he hasn't misplaced his ball.

And of course we (Ella and Leroy) enjoy when there's snow on the ground to munch on. Problem is, this snow wasn't too clean. The dialogue going on during the above picture is me saying, "Ella, honey, that snow is so dirty!" (I know a little dirt isn't going to hurt, but it develops a behavior of non exclusive snow eating. Which I learned the other day in Billings when my daughter grabbed a chunk of snow - black and mostly dirt I would say - from the parking lot and took a bite.) (Sorry Dad, I shouldn't have even mentioned it!)

A snow eating girl also needs a tasty treat in a warm cup once we're inside. Yum!
