I took a break from my studies today to take advantage of the fantastic weather. Taiga and I headed to the Nisbet Forest to spend the day snowshoeing and exploring. Zoe is in Fond du lac right now so she couldn't join us. It was a great day for wandering in the forest the sun was warm and there was no wind, the only problem is the lack of snow. There really wasn't enough to warrant snowshoes but I used them anyway. For lunch Taiga and I found a nice little sunny spot among a stand of jack pine and made a small fire to boil up some tea. The lunch menu consisted of cheese biscuits, maple smoked salmon, and cheese. Taiga had some treats. While we ate lunch we sat quietly listening the the chickadees, blue jays, gray jays, squirrels, and crows. Taiga loves to run in the forest and would run as fast and as hard as she could, then she'd dive head first into the snow and plow to a stop. She's going to sleep well tonight.
I took this picture to show how little snow there is in the forest
One of Taiga's favorite things is to chew and sticks.

Taiga doesn't have opposable thumbs so she finds it difficult to operate the camera, so this is a self portrait
She had fun in the snow
