It was midday and Ansel was ready for a walk after the long morning of rain and wind. It was definitely not his favorite thing to be cooped up indoors.

He knew that he would much rather be out and about exploring and enjoying a good book somewhere among the trees. Letting out a breath, he reached up to pull a leather bound journal from the bookshelf and looked at it. He had started writing in the journal not too long ago about the different animals that were nearby his home.

It wasn't that he was super interested in the topic, but it did give him practice for when he found something worthwhile to write about. Books were one of his favorite things, and it showed, as his home was strewn with them.

Smiling, he adjusted his glasses and began his walk into the forest.
