Forest Growth

To reward us for all our hard work on taxes, Mommy got us a custom made cat tree for our office and it was delivered last week...

I loved it right away...

My sisfur Angel didn't want to give up the old tree even after it was moved out of the way...

She did eventually check out the new one though...

She started in the basement while I inspected the bigger, roomier cubby hole...

Angel really liked the rope posts...

HEY! What'd you whap me for?

Angel, you are one weird chica!

Anyway, after she completed the inspection of the top floor she decided she liked the new tree...

But since she still likes the old tree, our forest has grown...

Supposedly the old tree will go away but of course not until Angel stops using it altogether. She's so spoilt. Seriously.

Hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoy a great week!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Can't see the forest for the cat trees...

And we wouldn't have it any other way!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Sadieday!

Yay it's Sadieday! I've been waiting for this Sadieday all week because it's the last Sadieday of tax season! That means it's time to start planning my summer adventures which I know will include a lot more strolls in the neighborhood - including dips in mud puddles...
We'll also go on strolls in the forest...
Of course we'll have to go to the coast since I LOVE it there...
Sometimes we'll just have to see where the trail takes us...
But one thing is for sure, there will be no limits on our fun!
I'm looking forward to many adventures this summer and I hope you'll come along with me too!

What adventures are you planning this year?

Enjoy your Sadieday!

Spooky Sunday

We hope you all got lots of treats and not too many tricks for Halloween yesterday! We're certainly glad the creatures are done ringing our doorbell for another year! Since it's still Halloween weekend, we'd thought we'd share some spooky scenes from our neck of the woods.

We've got spookiness hanging in midair...

Around the corners...

In the sea...

In boxes...

In the woods...

And peering out of windows.

Hope you enjoyed our spooky scenes today!

Stroll with Sadie!

It's time for another stroll with me! Mommy and Daddy went with me and kept telling me to stay on the trail. Don't they know I have to smell all the pee-mail in the grass?

Mommy always likes to stop to see the view of the valley. Pretty boring if you ask me.

Uh oh, I have a feeling we're not alone!

See, I told you!

This way! Hurry up!

There it is, it's a deer! I'd chase it but those things on its head look like they'd hurt.

Hope you enjoyed the stroll with me. Enjoy your Saturday!

An Evening Stroll

Our temperatures are coming down making for cooler evenings which are perfect for a walk around the neighborhood. I took my camera along on our last evening out and decided to share some of what we seen beginning with these beautiful wild daisies.

Our dog, Sadie, always leads the way down the trails. She loves all the things to explore in nature. Her tail never stops wagging!

Smoke from the wildfires in California has made its way north to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The haze is in the air every day and is affecting the Olympic track trials going on in Eugene this week. Of course dealing with the smoke is much better than what they are dealing with in California and I hope they get the fires controlled very soon.

We always see at least one deer along the way. This time we saw two. We live in a fairly populated area, however, it borders a forest so it's common to see deer in yards and even exploring our cul-de-sac from time to time. This time of year they stay up near the trees more where it's cooler.

Nature is so beautiful. Be sure to take the time to enjoy it!
