Walking in the Winter Woods ...

Bella and Dakota with their new Cabela's chest protectors.
We really like them and recommend them, even if you just walk
your dog on the street. They are highly visible and reflective.
The dogs both got their paws in fox traps. Before we could
see what they were smelling, bang, and then the howling started.
I am all for the hunters and trappers but there needs to be some
type of flag to alert those hunting or walking in the woods
with dogs. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
I am just thankful that they outlawed the traps with the
teeth. That would have been awful for sure.
No birds to report or bunnies.

Rabbit season's just around the corner ...

This little bunny can hide now but not for long. The dogs will smell him out if the owl's don't get to him first. Seems like a lot of rabbit's around this year. Hunting might be good!

Annie - get your gun!

Sure smells good outside!

Lazy Days at the Cottage ...

If you have wondered what I've been doing lately ...

Looking upstream along the Raystown Branch of the Juniata ...

Looking downstream on the river ...
someone got to my sweetie's spot before he did so

he fished right in front of the cottage ...

Of course after fishing you have to let the 'kids' in the water!

like I said before - coffee just tastes so good
while setting on the porch of the cottage ...

So instead of blogging alot, this is what I've been doing
for we needed to get away from doing this big job ...
Tension has been tight since 'sweetie' decided to put siding
on our home. Great idea, love the color, looks wonderful,
but couldn't have we paid someone to do it? (NO!)
So slow it goes, not much motorcyle riding neither.
Sweetie needed to get away from this for while so we
headed to the cottage ... I can smell the coffee still ...

On a hot summer day ...

You've got to
cool off the dogs ....

Dakota & Bella ...
All Bella wanted to
do was drink the water
but Dakota enjoyed
his sit down!
