the "backyard"

our apartment has quite a few drawbacks, mostly that there are absolutely no parks or playgrounds within a five-mile radius.
but. there are two ponds on the property and a short little "nature trail" that works when we just need to get outdoors.
adventure friday this week was spent pretty close to home.
here's a preview:

 Fingerless gloves are appropriate in March, right? Even if it is 83 degrees out... Can you tell my child dresses herself? Accessories and all?
I'd edit more images tonight, but M is begging me to get her Dragon Book down so we can look at it. And it is the only book that she cannot play with unsupervised.
Happy Friday!
