Scenes from the first back yard scouting mission...

It took a few minutes for Scarlett to make it back as far as the tree (half way), as she was not sure what was in all those shadows....


...but soon she was pointing at everything that was a potential trouble-maker. In this case it was the hammock, which squeaks when the wind blows.


The nose was down to the ground most of the afternoon, so many new smells.


And then she heard the birds across the fence in Mrs. Foley's yard. Too much excitement for one afternoon so we needed to go inside for a while.
