Walking The Back 40

Taking a nice walk in the back 40 on a nice fall morning with Miggs before we get tons of rain over night and into tomorrow . I do love this area .

         This  forest area is just behind our house and the field is both behind and beside our house .

 This path goes all the way around the forest and field . It makes for a lovely place to walk, bird watch explore and enjoy what nature has to offer and of course photograph  .

 Most of our trees in the valley are bare now but there are a lot of lovely golds , greys , browns, reds and even some greens still all mixed together out here  .

 Deep in the back of the tree line below the top of the valley is our Otter river a bridge and a dead end road that travels deep in the forest  to the left of the photo . I would have pics this time of the river  but since they tore down the  100+ year old bridge and rebuilt a panel bridge there  a year or two ago they haven't put  a walk way along the bridge and the grates of the bridge are to wide for dogs and animals to cross . I have written to our local paper about it , still waiting for the county and municipality to wake up and put in a solid walk over ,  so I cant take Miggs with me and well.. she is my walking buddy so I  wont be going over the bridge any time soon . So this this lovely area is where we like to walk more now . 

                                                                   Until next time .

Miggs In The Last Clean Up Of Leaves

The weather has been all over the place here . Cold , frosty, mild, sunny, windy cloudy rainy and  the odd dusting of snow  here and there .

Over the weekend it was quite pleasant out so Papa Miggs and I decided to get out there and clean up the last of the fallen leaves . When we had the frost the past few mornings the trees shed their last leaves in the yard and are all bare now .

One thing Miggs loves to do this time of year is play and lay in the pile of leaves and of course strike a few posses for me lol !

Miggs like it when Papa uses the leaf blower to collect the leaves and make big piles of them .

                                She also loves to dive in and catch the blowing leaves .

           And well sit in the piles to lol ! She has a look on her face as if to say , Can ya see me ?! youhoo mum n dad I am here !

        This is something she has done since a tiny puppy every fall of leaf clean up ! Crazy funny dog !

On another note , the birds have been feasting at and below the feeders , especially the Blue Jays who cobble up the seeds whole .

There is a dusting of snow on ground and leaves  in this pic it was a few days before we tackled the last batch of leaves .

Mostly quiet about the yard and valley this time of year at least the birds are keeping me entertained as does Miggs with their silliness .

                                                    Until next time .
