Sunday Outing At The Pumpkin Patch

Every year around this time, we pack the dogs in the car and head out to our favorite place to pick out our pumpkins. This year was especial as I will be hosting a ladies lunch next Friday and was looking for some unique pumpkins and gourds to decorate my dining room table. This is our third year coming here and the dogs already know the drill. They stay in the car, but get to look at the cows, goats, donkeys and anything else that moves.


Are we there yet?!!!

The selection is always top notch


My loot. Love those Jarsdale pumpkins!

It was a cloudy and cool day, perfect for picking out pumpkins

Somewhere out there is our future Christmas tree!

You guys called that an outing?!!!. I didn't get to chase a single goat!

Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

The water is still cool, at least for this old timer, and more people were cruising than swimming this Memorial Day weekend.

Except for the dogs, of course.....

Westie overboard!

Followed by lab cousin

and sister Lily. she of dock diving fame!

I'm done, where's my towel?

Jeeze, I can't believe she forgot to bring my towel

Any chance of a blow dry?

Does wet hair make me look fat?

Fall Boating on the Lake...Bittersweet Memories

This is the time of the year that I look forward to. Beautiful foliage, cool temperatures, less people...nirvana. But this is also the time to take better precautions when you are out on the lake so take a look at this post from the folks who have your safety at heart.

These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago when we went out on the lake with our good friends and neighbors who, unfortunately, will be moving at the end of this month.

Our cove

Stephanie & Gretchen our lake neighbors!

I'm so sad they are leaving...

Gonna miss him!

A great island for overnight camping!, boys on the left, girls on the right!

Going back to our original favorite island!

So many memories of the past year!

This beats the tanning salons!

Bet you can't do this on Madison Avenue!

No Lucy, I don't want to play catch now, I want to fish!

So when do I get to fish??

Pssst!

Not again...

It was a bittersweet afternoon and looking at this post makes me terribly sad. They have been the best friends, so kind and loving, , and I am going to miss them very, very much!

A Visit to Cocktail Cove... With the Family!

A nice quiet island.....all to ourselves!

This past Sunday, while my brother, sister in law and their two labs were visiting, we went on a picnic to yet another small island on the lake. It was quiet and lovely and we spent a couple of hours swimming and having lunch. On the way back, we decided to stop and show my brother Cocktail Cove...bad move.

Cocktail Cove is one of those places where young people and, unfortunately, some old ones, gather to swim, drink and have fun. Typically, it can get rowdy, loud and, sometimes, out of control. All in all, from what I hear, it is harmless but it is definitely not my cup of tea by any stretch of the imagination. It used to be on a pretty cove but now it has moved elsewhere to what I think is a honky tonk part of the lake with water slides and the like and it's just plain tacky. When our friends suggested we swing by to show my brother, I agreed, only to regret it immediately on arrival. To boot, we couldn't let the dogs out to swim and you know who went ballistic.

Cocktail Cove is only for the young at heart, and those who have very nice bodies!
