The outside is terrifying D:

The outside, as you may or may not be aware, is large. And cold, at times. Cold and large, with a sky that stretches far and contains countless predatory things - like clouds. Have you ever truly examined a cloud? They are just sitting up there, waiting...waiting for a chicken to drop her guard long enough to become lunch. Monsters, but not the good kind, biding their time until unsuspecting babies are brave enough to venture out from under Mama's skirts and peck the grass.

We weren't very brave today. We didn't leave Mama's skirts. We did get convinced to explore by being picked up and put down, but it was too cold. Less than one minute and it was universally decided that the clouds were too intent on committing

murder and the temperature too nippy.

We'll try again. In the spring. Hopefully the clouds will be gone by then!
