This year, we are celebrating November with gratitude.
Today, in the US, it is Election Day. We are thankful we live in a country where our pawrents have the freedom to help choose the leaders of our country.

Mama let me show off her "I voted" sticker!

It's also Happy Tuesday(Thanks Sandee)! We(and Mama) are VERY happy that after today the commercials, texts and phone calls about pawlitics will end!

Thankful Awww Monday


This year, we are celebrating November with gratitude. Today we are thankful for our "Napping Couches". 


I, Sunny, like to lay on the couch in the living room. The pawrents always have it covered with soft warm fuzzy blankets....


Perfect for snuggly naps!


I, Rosy, still like laying on the back of the Family Room couch. I have a pawfect view of all the backyard critters...PLUS


It's a comfy cozy place for snoozing!
We are so thankful we both have our own comfy couches.

November Thankfuls Day 1 - Fall Color

This year, we are celebrating November with gratitude.
Today, on the first day of the month, we are thankful for Autumn colors right here in our neighborhood.

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.  

Is anyone else tired today?  Those Trick or Treaters visited all night long...and then we waited up for the Great Pumpkin! Anyways...today we are going to take a look at some of the Autumn nature around the neighborhood.

Beautiful red berries....

Most of our leaves have changed from their deep greens to pretty oranges and yellows

...along with deep beautiful reds!

Hey, aren't those red leaves from our backyard Rosy??

They are Sunny, and so are these pretty seed pods from our Yucca. Some of them are closed like this one....

....and other ones have opened up to release the black seeds inside!!

We'll leave you with some "Halloween Cactus" from our neighbors yard BOL!

We sure had fun sharing the spookiest week of the year with you, and we hope you enjoyed it too. 

We can't wait to see what November brings!


Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Halloween Tricks

Happy Halloween Everybuddy!!
Mama thought it would be nice to have a morning photoshoot of our Witchy costumes yesterday morning. 
Little did we know it was FREEZY COLD outside!! 

Luckily Sunny had Greenie Witch and after she said the magical words...
Bippity Boppity BOO......

We transported inside!!! Sunny was being a little bratty and kept going on and on about how SHE was a REAL witch....

Luckily, Greenie Witch was right at my side and I said some different magical words
ABRAPUMPKINADABRA!

and PRESTO Sunny turned into a pumpkin!!
TeeHeeHee

I am thankful that, after I apologized for being a brat, Rosy turned me back into the cute puppy I am so I could wish everybuddy a safe and Happy Halloween!!

Happy Spooky Travel Tuesday


 
This week we have a special spooky Travel Tuesday for Halloween week. When we visited Creede last July, the pawrents visited an old cemetery.
 
 
 The Creede Cemetery was established in 1890 and is a Pioneer Cemetery(which basically means it is a cemetery where pioneers are layed to rest). 
 
 
 The Sunnyside Chapel is right below the cemetery. Believe it or not, this chapel was originally a Catholic Church. It was moved from it's original location, on Main Street in Downtown Creede, up to the cemetery. The Chapel was renovated and is now rented out for weddings and other special events.
 
 
 BOO!

 
 The souls(or ghosts maybe?) that lay to rest here have beautiful eternal views, don't you think? Bob Ford, the man reported to have killed Jesse James(and was murdered in a Creede saloon) is buried in Creede Cemetary

 
The pawrents thought it was interesting to see the different family plots.  Above you see an older plot(surrounded by the white picket fence) in the background and a newer plot in front(with the chain fence surrounding it).

 
 Many of the older graves were of young adults and children. 
The founders of Creede were pretty isolated, and doctors were rare, so many didn't make it to adulthood due to disease or accidents.
 
Human cemeteries sure are interesting!


Thanks for tagging along for our short Halloween week visit to the Creede Cemetery!

Have you ever visited an historic cemetery?
