104 : office walks

Every day we take Gizzard out for a short walk around the office area. It's nice to step away from the computer and get some fresh air. And although there are many gross things that come crawling from the hill, there are also some beautiful things as well.

Each spring, the brown hill we see out our window, becomes alive with color. Usually it's mustard flowers that grow abundant, but this year, these pretty purple flowers were sprouted everywhere.

When the purple flowers died, these lovely little pea pod looking things appeared.

And although, we get our share of creepy crawlies (pincher bugs, black widows, beetles and ants galore), there's something about lady bugs that just say happiness (especially when they have spots).
