Morning Walk

Every morning I try to take a walk with the dogs up the road if the grass is still wet. Seems like that is most days as the dew doesn't dry off until about 10am and by then it is getting a bit hot. I took a picture through the trees so you all could enjoy the view as well. It got down into the upper 30's and rained last night but is clearing off nicely today. It was 47 when we started our walk.
The dogs enjoy their walk even though they can pretty much run everywhere on their own(except Speck due to large predators) they want me to go on an adventure with them. The tiniest one can outlast them all and I tried to get a little of him on a walk, but the small dog is hard to catch on the video. He goes on walks all year the only thing that slows him down is when the snow touches his belly. He gets cold then and I have had to tuck him under my jacket to bring him back. All together we hike anywhere from 2 to 6 miles a day up and down the mountain. The dogs of course do a lot more miles than me weaving back and forth across the road. They stay in good shape and it helps me keep in shape as well. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

Dog days of winter

When the nights get cold and the days a bit brisk the dogs move a bit closer to the fire. Speck the littlest one gets a bit too close sometimes and has to make a quick retreat when he starts to smolder.
Thor prefers a softer and safer location from the heat and constant loading of firewood. All the dogs get much quieter when the stove is stoked and the room is almost uncomfortably warm.
It got down to 22 last night and didn't warm up much above freezing today. I will say I have to agree with the dogs that there is nothing like a warm fire on a cold day. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

September pictures

Just thought I would share a few fun pictures I took today. As you can see Scooter has gotten much bigger than Leo. They love taking a walk with me even though they can go anytime. They only go when I take them.
The next picture is some pretty blue flowers. Sorry I don't have the name right now. Guess I should have looked it up before I posted. And the last picture is one I take quite regularly from the top of our hill.

The view down the valley towards Leetonia and Cedar Run. There are a few trees changing colors, but as you can see not many. It just finished raining as I went up to the top and it feels cool. It is supposed to be dry tomorrow, but only in the lower 60's. After being in the 80's that will feel cool. If this were after winter 60's would be sweltering. Enjoy the view and have a great Leetonia day. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

Making of a Christmas Card


Every year I take a picture for my Christmas Card. This year I carved a stand-in for Jack and it was the only one of the dogs who behaved. Leo always hates this and the puppy just wanted to eat the ears. Leo looks like we are killing him in this picture and he literally had to be dragged to the spot. Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through this every year. Hopefully next year the puppy will be better behaved. I have no hope for Leo. There is a short clip of me trying to get the ears on Scooter. Freezing rain tonight...Not a good time to drive to Leetonia.
