Scenes From Around Home

The hard rain we've had didn't ruin all the leaves yet, but there is more rain and wind on the way for the next two days.

The Pin Oak always has some beautiful leaves.

Our rescue dog Tauqua, and Frosty like to cuddle.

This cold wet Goldfinch sits on a shepherds hook during the heavy rain.

We took a ride yesterday out to the Peninsula on Lake Erie, and this is what you see as you enter Presque isle. 

Back at home not far away, these cows cool off during a warm day.
More rain tomorrow, and cooler days to come.

Remember Whensday

Looking back to 1981, this is a shot of me and our Cock-a-poo Chaudney. He was rescued from the humane society and really turned out to be a great dog. One of his favorite things to do was to sleep in my chair. He loved to play ball, and would run till he was out of breath and could barely stand. We had him 15 years.
It's funny, I don't remember wearing nail polish...
Thanks to Sally for this meme, and if you click on her site Here you can see more oldies.

Of birds, dogs and cats

We had quite a snowy day again. A total of 7" fell and this time it was light and fluffy . It really is quite beautiful how it clings to all the trees.
Total for this season so far is 37" The temperature never got above 23º either.
The Cardinals came and spent some time since the Blue Jays have wandered off elsewhere. Even the Mrs. stayed for a while. I actually had 3 pair this afternoon, but never could catch any more than one at a time.

One lone Starling chowed down on the suet. Time to make some more. If a flock of these Starlings discover my feeders they will clean up everything in no time.

The wind picked up, and made for a bad hair moment.

Last but not least, the two are now buddies. Tauqua even tries to play with Frosty, but with his long legs he is so clumsy. They are just too funny to watch. Oh yes, he always cleans up her dish when she is finished eating, so that I won't have to.
