Great Get Away

IMG_9002

This little trip up to the mountains has been the best getaway.  We have had some wonderful weather, some great hikes, and some really lovely time together.  It was such a good idea to bring Ozzie along with us, as his enjoyment of the outings has given us a lot of joy as well.

It has been a lot more exercise than he apparently is used to, and he is spending a good deal of time recovering from the activity.

On the last day of our trip, we relaxed.  I did some hand sewing, my husband did some computer work, and as you can see, Ozzie continued his nap.

I attached the binding to a couple of small table quilts, and have finished two books and started a third.  The fall color has been so enjoyable.  Did you know ferns change color with the seasons as well as trees do?  Isn't that a pretty sight?

I hope you will all have a good weekend.  Looking forward to sharing some book reviews with you next week.

  7. We RV a lot and always take our dog. . . .and even after a weekend trip she needs a week at home to recuperate.
    On the few times that we cannot take her she is boarded where they do “nature walks” in the mountains near the kennel. . .she need 2 weeks to recuperate after those trips! LOL
    Our dogs our just too funny sometimes.
    Glad you enjoyed your little trip.

  16. Ozzie has it right. Run around like crazy having fun and then it’s a well earned rest. Sounds like you have a pretty good human formula, too.
