Always carry a big stick

 We have to stick to the paved trails these days.....with the warmer temps the woods are either icy or in spots very muddy

 Even this had a lot of icy spots to negotiate

 Molly always has to finds sticks to carry & be silly with on our walks

 This one was a little big but she was bringing along anyway

 We have a newcomer to our yard......a little red squirrel.  The grey ones chase him away but he manages to get his share of the seed that falls on the ground
