Little Mouse at Buck Prairie

This tiny little mouse was crossing our path as we skied at Buck Prairie this April. My friend gave him a piece of apple and he filled his little belly and then went on his way through the snow.

Littles and the Ocean

Other than Fisherman's Wharf or a drive by Ocean Beach, this was her first time on the beach, looking at the ocean. She just looked and looked. When I asked her what she thought of the ocean she said "Big." It reminds me of the first time she said "water" while on the Maid of the Mist, looking at Niagra Falls.
