Vermont Days

The days here in Vermont have been so lovely. It is hard to stay inside. I'm wanting to make the best of this weather and getting my fall cleaning done while it is so nice! Staining outdoor deck furniture and spraying weatherproofing on the deck. I haven't tackled the gardens yet, not really motivated for that yet. BUT I have been taking some fabulous walks and hikes with Jack during the week.
One I took was to Gile Mountain, it is a nice uphill climb to an old fire tower. The foliage was so pretty and Jack had a blast.  Here are a few pictures.




                                       Red and orange trails are the one's Jack and I took.








                                                    Handsome Jack in his Glory




                                          Can you see it? Look hard............




                                            Still you see this?




                                           "Quite high"





Even JACK starting coming up......until I chickened out and had to go down. I normally do this with my husband, so I was scared, and didn't want to get into a situation with Jack too. I'm scare of heights the older I get!



On the way down the trail, it was so beautiful, here enjoyed.



















AND then something happened and I DID NOT see it happen until...................I saw the damage.
















                                        What was this? my dog or a black and white sheep!?






                                            Thick, muddy, and smelly





First thing we did when we got home was a bath outside. Meet "CLEAN JACK"
He seems so happy and proud......King of the Road.





Hope you enjoyed a peek into our beautiful Vermont Days. I'll be back soon with more. Hope you are all enjoying some good weather too. Thanks so much for your visits and your lovely comments.

  13. Hello Robin. Thank you for visiting my blog and becoming a follower. I love your autumn photos of your lovely State of Vermont. The colors are spectacular and amazing. I always think to myself that God can paint such a beautiful blue sky and then we see all this splendor of fall leaves and know He has painted this all for us. Your dog Jack kinda reminds me of a child who will find the mud puddle and want to step in it. Dogs can get into a lot of mischief but we love them anyways.
    Enjoy your week, (((HUGS))) Susanne :)
