The kids get up to mischief!



Uh... Bella - what 'cha doing?? Three guesses Mommy!


China must be down there someplace... ha ha!


Actually - there was a chipmunk hole and they decided to keep after the little cutie! lol

Ah! The beautiful maple leaves are almost all gone~

Make a wish for a fast and mild winter!

Final Days of Fall...


Fall colors are fading...

Storm clouds move in and out quickly...


But the girls and I are making the most of all the days~


All too soon, the snows will be here and the quiet days just sitting by the water will be over...


Not that the dogs and I ever sit still long anyway... ha ha!

Farmer's Fields...


The farmers around here are busy getting their crops in...

The corn reminds me of soldiers on parade... lined up in such straight rows

Then the geese start feeding!






They come in by the hundreds!


And what a racket they make!!

Don't understand why the farmers have to spread manure around after all those geese get through feeding on the corn left behind! lol

More Fall Shots...


The colors in my back yard were amazing this year... Love those Maple trees for that!

This darling little statue given to me by a dear friend, was adorned with the colorful leaves, as they fell...


This is the corn field area where I usually take my dogs for their daily run (no burrs there!)

Now that the corn is cut down, the geese are fattening up for their long flight ahead

Fall is definately here now...


The lovely color in my backyard...


A local rock quarry, where the dogs love to run...

Funny how they always love the high vantage points...


Stormy fall clouds rolling in~


Amber has really taken to the water.



How they love to run and play...

The last bloom of summer...


Ah! The poignancy of the last sweet bloom...

Time to move the sweet statues indoors...


The rustic creations stay out... and feed the squirrels!


The dog wood still has it's leaves and is doing a great job sheltering this impatient plant.


Brandy keeping gard over the yard...

This Glorious Colorful land!


I LOVE the maple trees at this time of year...

The sounds of the geese flying overhead in my yard!


Even my back fence is alive with color...


It is hard to notice the little things hiding in the "lack of color" areas!


Seems that even the dogs are blending into the background in some areas...

Fall Follies


The girls and I have been enjoying driving around and photographing the colors of this beautiful fall.

There are so many lovely places to explore in this big old world...


My new travelling pal - Rambo - comes along for the enjoyment... (always makes ME laugh anyway~)


Observant pups...


... discovered that they cannot reach those noisy birds flying over head.
