Lodge of Four Seasons

We had a great time this weekend. This is the lodge where we stayed. The only complaint we have is that the time went by too quickly.

San Diego

I was out in San Diego this week. I didn't know about the fires until after we landed. The air was smokey and filled with ash. The highways were flooded with people evacuating their homes. I took a shot of the sun from the plant in Carlsbad (which is north of San Diego and just south of Camp Pendelton) around 3:00 in the afternoon. Camp Pendelton was on fire Wednesday and closed I-5 north of our hotel. I never felt I was ever in any danger but the smoke and ash definitely kept it on my mind. Glad to be home.

Birds in the Yard Again

I had more birds show up in my yard again today right after yesterday's visitors. Only 1 of these birds stayed today unlike the 2 that stayed yesterday.

Coopers Hawk

The Coopers Hawk seems to land in the backyard when the weather is cold and rainy. I have a couple more posted in the Mills Mailbox.

Grandma's Rose

Just one of Grandma Darby's roses from a couple weeks ago. They still look great.

9 months old

As if time hasn't flown by fast enough since she was born...but today she is a whoppin' 3/4 of a year old. That's 270 days....she's getting up there! Just thought I'd share a few pics with you to see what she has been up to lately. She is crawlin like crazy, has 3 teeth, and is pulling herself up on everything and getting into everything. She is one great kid, though...let me tell ya!!!

I dunno if she could get any cuter!!!

Grandma Kay and me took her to the park to go swinging!!

She laughed her little head off!!

Rub a dub dub!! She's bathes in Grandma's sink now!!

Olivia's first time in the grass

She LOVES to "try" to eat the leaves

Hope you all enjoyed your summer and are heading into fall enjoying the changing of the leaves and the dark that comes too soon!! Look forward to seeing you all soon!!

XOXOXOXOX

Fall at the Cabin

Here are a few pictures from our trip last weekend. The leaves were turning colors and the sky was perfectly blue. To top it off, I spent Wednesday morning fishing with Leo. Great weekend.



We've seen this deer before. She was bedded down along Schoeman Rd.




This is the shore by the dam on X.
