Joining in today for Awww Mondays hosted by Sandee over on Comedy Plus.
My last two posts have been very sad posts so today I'm sharing something a lot more cheerful.
Took "Red" outside the other day to see her grandpa and he was on his Harley with the engine running so we sat her down on it too see how she would do and she just sat there like a little trouper. Didn't fuss or cry even though the engine was running and making a lot of noise. This were her first time on the Harley but probably not her last time.
And just one more for cuteness as I caught her asleep on the floor the other morning and couldn't resist taking her photo.
We took a drive this week up Tollgate to the lake where my hubby is doing some work on a cabin up there. Today's photos are from that trip.
1. First up, a view of the Blue Mountains from the E.J. Haney Viewpoint. Notice the crows in the trees on the right.
2. We stopped at the Tollgate Store to get some snacks and outside the store was this (weird) metal sculpture.
It's a badger catching salmon. After researching I'm not sure if this was a Bear or a Wolverine but it's not a Badger as they are much cuter that that. It looks really ferocious and scary.
3. One of the fancier cabins on the lake.
You have to be a member to use the lake and there is a gate with a code that you need to get inside as people actually live there year round.
4. We didn't see any deer on the way up (except for some horses which I made the mistake of saying, "Look at those big deer" before I realized they were horses) now I'll never live that one down. Yes I do know the difference! - Anyway while we were looking at the lake this lovely deer was just walking by and munching on grass.
It seemed almost "tame" and hubby says it's there almost everyday.
5. Some pretty wildflowers growing by a post on the ground.
6. Can't leave hubby out since he's the reason we took the drive. Here he is hard at work.
7. On our way out we spotted this little family happily swimming on the lake. I'm not sure what kind of birds these were but I'm "guessing" perhaps some type of a Loon.
Today we have, Speedy G just lounging around. I love how he lays with his paws spread out in front like that. He has to sometimes because he has such a big fat belly...see the next shot.
We call him, "Sumo Kitty" because of that belly!
He has such a sweet little face that I just couldn't resist sharing this shot too.
Leaving you today with a lovely musical selection to enjoy
One of my favorite songs by the Eagles....I hope we all have a Peaceful Easy feeling type of weekend.
Oh goodie gumdrops! Most of you probably know I'm not a big fan of winter or snow but this year I'm trying to find it's special beauty. My friend Debbie, (It's All About Purple) is teaching me that snow makes for great photo opts and you know, she's right.
2. Dogs like snow...
Pixie went crazy when I took her out.
Cricket had a grand time too.
3. Crows come out to eat no matter what kind of weather you are having.
I stomped down the area around the telephone pole where I normally put out the peanuts and threw some on the freshly plowed sidewalk and within minutes there were quite a number of crows grabbing up the peanuts right and left.
4. There is nothing more joyous then a child's smile.
5. Sugar/Cinnamon Toast is a perfect breakfast on a cold snowy morning.
Bonus thought.... Spring will eventually arrive. - I saw Robin's earlier this week.
Edited in Pic Monkey to give it the watercolor look.
Have a great weekend. It's supposed to snow again today and maybe tomorrow as well. Then next week they say we may get up to nearly 50 degree's.
