Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We hope you're not sick of seeing lots of Autumn color yet because we are loving it!

We found some black berries a few days ago.   Mom googled the shrub and this is some sort of a Viburnum - a wild Viburnum?

We like the speckled leaves on this Winterberry~

We are seeing pretty blue Juniper berries~

The Canada's are swimming in Landlady Maryann's pond!

I love being on top of this rock and it makes mom happy too~

The Paperwhite bulbs that mom's brother sent her took awhile to grow but they are finally blooming!  Mom is disappointed that they aren't more fragrant.   Each day she sticks her nose in them hoping they will have more of a perfume but they don't have that intense scent as she remembers them to have.  

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

A Quickie on Thursday

 We have rain in the forecast today and tomorrow and mom wanted to get our walk in before it started!

Believe it or not, she raked in this spot yesterday and look what happened!

When we were out yesterday, she took a picture with this copper-colored tree and all of the pictures were blurry.  Mom says that I'm always too quick to want to get moving but today she was determined as the rain coming and the high humidity would change the way this gorgeous tree looked.    I had to jump high to get on top of Miss Laura's stone wall~

You got the tree and me and it's pretty good, mom!

And now I need my drink of water and my nap!

Happy Thursday!

Love ya lots♥

A Short Walk

 Sunday morning was in the low 30's and I wore my coat again~

We came through the backyard before we entered the house.   The Lavender is blooming!

We found an almost hidden  Periwinkle flower!

We did turn our clocks back.  Mom is not a fan of Daylight Savings Time. She much prefers Standard Time. We are early to bed and early to rise!  When it gets dark in the afternoon way too early, mom likes to light the Christmas trees.  They make her happy.   No ornies yet.   It's still too early for that.

I did get my November bath.   I love my baths and I love my robe that helps to dry me.

Happy Monday!

Happy Halloween

 My scary Halloween scene with me as a ghost~

A few days ago, Juney and Miss Ann were playing around and they sent us the cutest Halloween photo that you know we had to share!

"oh my dog, the mommy has stuffed me into this oversized scarecrow, propped me up on the front stoop ... with a big treat bag full of treats I cannot eat ... and expects me ... yes, me ... to politely, with nary a bark, not even a paw-nibble ... hand them out to all those young munsters who come to our door ... yelling and screaming ...hurting my soft, curly ears, offending my delicate nose ... surely some will try to wag my tail ... oh my dog ... i am being forced to sink to the ultimate low ... of being a hallo-bark-o-ween dog ... nevermore ..."

Happy Halloween!!!

Love ya lots♥

Spooky Tuesday

 Mom went to the veggie market yesterday morning for bananas and apples and some carrots and celery.

Before she entered the store, she checked out the Halloween display in the area where they keep perennial plants and annuals earlier in the year~

Mom knew that I wouldn't want to be any part of this!

YIKES!

Nope, you wouldn't scare me!

I would say that you are pretty weird!

I think that you look like an ugly old witchy hag!

When mom got back - she shared her banana with me~

You're not supposed to eat the banana peel, Duke!!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

Weekend Walk on Monday

 We had lovely walks both days this past weekend.  Saturday was a frosty start but not as nippy as Sunday was~

We walked on a road that we hadn't been on for quite some time~

This poster was right next to a garden~

It was such a lovely morning for a walk!

We both love this tree at Miss Dotty's house~

Sunday morning, mom wore a winter jacket and she decided that I might need a coat too.

The Autumn colors are peak here in Connecticut~

We found a house with great Halloween decorations and lots of them!

Behind you, Duke!!!

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥
