Every now and then everything goes white with frost. Somehow the colder it gets, the more energy our puppy has! Must be a Golden Retriever thing since Binks’ best friend, Bailey also gets friskier!
The sun is starting to come up before 8, creating beautiful morning light. It is nice to not walk in the dark anymore!
(Ok, so I am still using UK spelling, years of habit!) It feels like everything we see is from a National Geographic documentary. The environment is so much different to anywhere else we had lived before.
Mushrooms, toadstools and moss pop up overnight.
Vivid colours stand out against all the deep greens.
There are so many new types of plants here. Researched this one. Think it is the Oregon Grape.
The mist in the mornings is amazing, so thick sometimes you can only see a few feet ahead. It makes for the most awesome light!
Fall seems to be peak time for spiders. Their webs are everywhere! On walks we kept having to dodge the stickiness. Regularly arrived home with webs in my hair
The webs are awesomely beautiful in the early morning light though.
When the skies are clear, the sunsets here are so colourful and brilliant. We had a late-in-the-day walk with the dog. He is very accommodating, stopping and “posing” in just the right spot!
We are really enjoying having an area to walk in so close to home. In the late afternoons, you have the lights of the neighbouring houses peeking through the trunks of the trees.
My youngest was really excited to discover holly.
Well, the frost has already hit and I haven’t had a chance to post the start of autumn / fall photos yet! Things are a little crazy with repairs finally starting on the house after the fire. When they are working, I turn the pc off since they sometimes trip the power and I don’t want to risk damaging any electronics.
We have been seeing tons of squirrels and rabbits. Toadstools and mushrooms have popped up everywhere.
Our puppy is growing at a tremendous rate. He still isn’t always big enough for the sticks he tries to run with though!
