Our World, My World

Hello and Happy Monday!

Officially Veterans Day is Nov 11th, but today is the day workers in the USA celebrate Veterans Day. I am thankful to all those who serve. 

We were happy to watch our son's dogs Nibbles and Chewy for a long weekend. I think they had a little doggie vacation too.  We took them for walks on the fire road once or twice a day. This walk is about 1 mile round trip from our house. We have many fire roads around our neighborhood for walking, at this time of the year we have to watch out for the deer hunters.



Grand-dogs Nibbles on the left and Chewy on the right go for a walk. 



Below some various images of the sky, the woods next to our house and the grand-dogs.




The mosaic below shows some of the red maple trees along the driveway this fall and the rhododendron and the window where the Screech Owl likes to sit.  As of 11/09/18 I have still heard and seen this owl in our front yard. 



Thanks for your visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

Thanks to Angie the new host of  Mosaic Monday
Thanks to the hosting team of Our World Tuesday!
I hope to see you there. Thanks to the host today. Enjoy your day and new week.

As always I thank you for stopping by and as always I appreciate your comments.

You know, one of the great things about visiting Costa Rica is that there is no army, and not this constant remembrance of war, waging of war, celebration of war and the near deification of people who happen to join the military as a career. It is refreshing.

Hello Eileen,

Your grand-dogs are so beautiful. I love the moon shot.
The rhododendron are huge, and I can imagine the owl likes it to hide in.

Happy Monday!

Sharon Wagner said...

Nice moon shot! Thanks for visiting. If you have any veterans in your life, have a meaningful day.

Your Grand-dogs are lovely!
Enjoy your walks and beware of hunters.
Have a nice week!

Jeanie said...

Beautiful territory in your world today -- all those downed leaves! Aren't you glad you don't have to rake them all? Bet the dogs had as much fun as you did!

Oh I love the grand-dogs amid all the changing foliage!...)JP

MadSnapper said...

your grand doggies are sooooo precious, wish I could hug and pet them.. the leaves on that trail or amazing and beautiful.. would love to swish my feet in the leaves

Barbara Rogers said...

Hi Eileen...I can't decide which one is Nibbles, and which Chewy...so I'm guessing the little one might be Nibbles. They are real sweethearts!

Tom said...

...a wonderful path to follow.

ann said...

Your fall colors are so pretty even the pups look like they enjoy the beauty. To have a neat place to walk is such a joy--here corn fields. Coloraodans are planting more red maples, but still we don't have the dense forest that you have. This is really pretty post.

Hello Eileen!
Happy Veterans Day!
Your grand dogs,Nibbles and Chewy ,are so adorable!
It must be fun having them home with you!
Wonderful pictures from your walk and amazing Autumn scenery!
Like your moon shot and the Maple trees with the red color of the leaves!
Thank you for sharing! Have a happy Monday and a great week!

Walking dogs once or twice a day along such a lovely path is good exercise both for mind and body. The cracking sound of fallen leaves under your feet would be comfortable to hear. The moon shot is beautiful.

It looks like your 4 legged visitors really ENJOY their walks with you two!

Fall makes things very colorful. You caught some great images near you.

Laughed traveling yesterday and forgetting I left my dog. I started to pull off at an area I can let them rove a bit off leash

awwww hugs to Nibbles and Chewy

Carol Blackburn said...

I was surprised you don't have orange scarfs on those pooches and a hat or vest on yourself. My friend where I used to work had her dog killed by a hunter because he wasn't wearing orange (the dog, not the hunter). An easily preventable accident. Plus her dog was a large brown dog that in my opinion looked a lot like a doe from afar.

ellen b. said...

Those two pups are in doggie heaven. How nice that you could care for them royally. Happy Monday and new week to you!

Phil Slade said...

Nibbles and Chewy look very happy Eileen. I'm thinking that like most grandparents, you spoil them and they know it. Take care with those shooters about. Have a great week.

RedPat said...

I hope that you wear bright clothes when walking there, Eileen!

Good to take the doggies on long walks---they sleep better as we do too. Nice collages and lovely colors

I'm sure Nibbles and Chewy enjoyed walking with you on the trail. Lovely mosaic Eileen and have a wonderful week.

Martha Z said...

Fire roads are great places for a walk especially as we (hubby and I) get older.

Fun60 said...

I like the idea of having dogs for the weekend. Lovely photos.

Tanza Erlambang - Every Day Issues said...

happy Monday and Veterans Day to you and your family too.
such beautiful shots of autumn sceneries

Penelope Notes said...

What a lovely path ... but a little disconcerting to think there is someone out there with an eye to shooting a deer. I'd definitely wear a non-deer color.

Carol @Comfort Spring Station said...

Taking a walk with dogs always makes everything better

Lowcarb team member said...

Lovely to see your grand-dogs, and lovely to see all of your photographs.
Love the mosaics here.

All the best Jan

Your son's handsome pups are lucky to have such a special place (and such special people) for a vacation getaway!

I love walking down a trail in the woods covered in leaves. : )

You are so fortunate to have such a wonderful place to walk every day and enjoy the views and all the beautiful scenes of nature. I'm sure you enjoyed having Chewy and Nibbles along for the walk!

it's good you got out, we have a lot of rain coming!!

Angie said...

Eileen - Your moon shot is terrific! I am curious about the names of Nibbles and Chewy - can I imagine some shoes/purses/other delectable items have been gnawed? So glad you added your cutie grand-dogs to Mosaic Monday this week!

Anu said...

Hello Eileen. Beautiful places and beautiful colours of autumn. The dogs are so cute.

Lady Fi said...

Lovely and leafy and how nice to see those cute doggies.

Jeevan said...

Such a wonderful wood side for the walks and I would love moving on crunching dry leaves. Smart grand-dogs for the company

Lea said...

Looks like the dogs are having fun, and I know you are, too!
Have a wonderful day!

This N That said...

I guess I'm a little behind as usual. Nice mosaics. Love your grand dogs! I'm sure they love the walks with you. Enjoy the rest of your week

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Yes---those doggies definitely had a nice vacation with you all ---and I'm sure they enjoyed their walks .....The Fire Roads are great places to take a nice walk... How do you let the hunters know you are there??? Noise/Bright clothes????

Have an awesome remainder of the week.
Hugs,
Betsy

Nibbles and Chewy are very cute, adorable dogs! Thank you for sharing your walk with us Eileen. Always fun to see your photos. Enjoy the rest of your week.

I miss having a dog to take for walks. We have a wonderful cat right now but he isn't much for walking with.

Al said...

Lots of pretty photos. We also have to look out for the hunters this time of year.

Loved the post. Beautiful photos.

Those fire roads are rather poignant given the photos from California this week. It's good to have the fire management and fire protection in your local area and brilliant for Grand doggie walking!
