A November walk

 I'm not even sure when these were taken  Let's just say sometime this past month  Must have been a little chilly judging from the way we're dressed  I kept saying I could hear a train coming & they all looked at me liked I had two heads!  Well nahnahnanahna!  That looks like a train to me!  Yikes that's close!  What seemed like hundreds of oil tanks  This chicken lives at the end of the trail  Okay Molly.......I'll catch up again Love

Bah Humbug!

 Okay my first beef is this I  It's not even thanksgiving turn off the d*mn christmas lights..........lets get one holiday over with before we start the next one! Even Mother Nature is mixing in winter before the leaves are off the trees.....this is the second time it has snowed......knock it off already!  We were out all day yesterday trying to rake up wet snowy leaves.....what a miserable job that was!  I wouldn't have done it but I hadn't put down the winterizer & couldn't do it on top of the leaves. It was so bitter cold & windy all day.  It is our anniversary(52 yrs) & Popster made dinner reservations.  When he got home from work I said "Are you sure you don't just want to order take-put & eat in our jammies" Even Molly got in on pushing the seasons ahead.....she brought me a squeaky toy this morning & when I looked down at it I had to laugh......it was a rudolph reindeer that she got for christmas last year! I'

A little of this, a little of that

 The ending of fall is here.  The beautiful orange-yellow of the late maples & beeches  Moody sky  I cannot keep the bird feeders full.  These little guys can empty this one in 2 days! Love

Back to the park

 We went back to the new park with Jessica & Luna  Only Jess can spot things we don't notice  There was a vine hanging from one of the trees  She decided to be "Tarzan" & Molly wanted to join in the fun!  I decided we needed an impromptu photo shoot...only the dogs cooperated!  Then no one did  Finally got a nice shot but had to edit out the lady & dog that photo bombed this one! Unfortunately we won't be hiking in the wood for a while until it gets really cold......too many ticks this year Love

Anchor Diamond Park

 The day after we had snow we decided to go check out the new hiking trails just a couple miles up the road from us  It's 278 acres that was donated to the town & will eventually have miles of trails open  There are only two trails open but all the dotted lines are the proposed one they are working on  There is a stream that we crossed a couple times  Big beautiful old trees  This is the remains of a mansion that burned back in the 1930's.....they will be doing an archeological dig sometime in the future  Molly was leading the way but kept waiting impatiently when we were too slow for her!  This is an old fireplace  Beautiful hike & we can't wait until all the trails are open.
