Busy August

Only one post in August? Man, am I a slacker! Didn't do a whole lot other than hanging out at the dog park, and normal chores on the weekends. I did go hiking this weekend with a friend of ours and her eight month old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Brownie. It was a nice sunny day and in the 60s even. I'm super glad we got out and had a long hike since it turned out to be the nicest day this weekend. It's cloudy and 55 degrees right now (at noon), and I had soup for supper last night since it was definitely soup weather. Seems like Mother Nature decided that since it was Labor Day weekend, it really *was* the end of summer for us. Heh! Here's hoping Fall brings some sunny days, even if they are chilly. With a little luck, I'll be able to post a bunch of hiking pictures of the Fall colors up here in full sunlight.

Here are some pics from the hike. Click on them for nicer sized versions.

Buck and Brownie


Here's Buck amongst some flowers


This is the big bull moose that was ten feet from us munching on the undergrowth. Buck and I walked quickly by and Buck didn't notice him, happily



Pretty little creek and meadow- the one thing about all the rain, our mountains are very green.


Scenery looks better when the sun is shining.
