Sunday FUNday!

Yesterday was such a GORGEOUS day...not a cloud in the sky!  It was a little warmer than I'd like for this time of year, but you still get no complaints from me.  One thing we enjoy doing on pretty days is going for a ride in the country, so off we went!

Bella, of course, had to join us.  She loves sticking her head out the window and taking in all the "sniffs".


We drove over to a local Alpaca farm to see them up close.  They smelled like typical farm animals, but they were so cute!  I think Abby and I would have gladly taken a couple of them home with us.


Here's a face only a mother could love.


The fall colors are starting to become very vibrant.


When we got back home, Abby and I grabbed our cameras and headed out to our backyard to discover what other sights we could capture.

Lots and lots of acorns...


A bee busy at work...


A "colony" of toadstools...


"Watchdog Bella' who kept all the squirrels at bay.  What a girl!


And a gentle reminder that springtime, in all it's glory, will arrive, again, soon...


Sure hope your weekend was just as nice!  I'm off to visit as many of you as I can before I lose my computer priveleges. :)
