Saratoga National Historical Park

This week we met Bob & Noreen up at the historical park but as you can see it wasn't the best conditions for taking pictures .....very overcast sky & there is not a lot of trees turning yet.

I have a fascination with dead trees!

Still lots of wild flowers blooming.

They were doing a re-enactment of one of the big battles that took place here....I would tell you which one but sorry......I forget!

I am trying to sharpen my skills at close-ups & think this one is pretty good!

We plan to go back again in about two weeks so by then the leaves will be changing & hopefully the sun will be out for better pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while &
