Welcome to my week in the great outdoors via my walks. We went from nineties and A/C to highs some days in the low forties, sunshine, rain, high winds, no winds, it was quite a crazy week! One thing is constant, that is we walk no matter what mornings and evenings.
We planted our flowers right before it got cold out. The flowers seem to like the cooler weather. I think it is better than the scorching heat. Mom even put out the deck furniture.
On a morning walk I saw this pretty flowering tree.
We also saw these pretty pink flowering things on a tree. It made Mom tear up because of the pink reminding her of Madison, our pink girl.
The wind has been fierce in the great outdoors this past week with sometimes gusts of up to fifty miles per hour! On one walk we saw this big tree that was broken from the wind.
But the worst thing is that the broken branch landed on the road and blocked one lane.
Turns our rabbits like cold and wet. We have seen more rabbits than ever this past week. Mom says she is losing her mind as we are all so crazy when we see them hopping around.
The most interesting thing we saw all week is this squirrel. There are a lot of white albino squirrels racing around our area with the gray squirrels. We think two of them fell in love and the result is this cool half and half squirrel with the red albino eyes. Mom has never seen anything like it before. Usually squirrels are never still making photos tough but this one sat there as it is was modeling for us. Weird all around!
Finally at the end of the week, rain and more cold moved in, like a couple inches of rain! We walked and walked in the blowing rain as we always do. Now we are back to cool weather but sunshine. It’s perfect in our opinion. Too bad the heat is heading back this way.
We are joining our friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard is for their Nature Friday blog hop.
