Rosy Rose Thankful on Nature Friday


We are celebrating November with gratitude again this year.  Every day during the month we will find something to be thankful for, be it big or small, to share with you.

Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Your favorite Rosy here today to show you some pretty Rosy rosies Mama found at the Botanical Garden on her last visit.

Today we are thankful the roses here in Albuquerque area tend to bloom in the early summer and mid to late autumn. Twice the viewing pleasure!

The light pink blooms are always a favorite.


"Raindrops on roses...." 
Mama always gets to the garden in the morning, right after the flowers are watered, so most of the roses have water droplets.

Nothing says happy more than a natural bouquet of Rosy roses!!



We are so thankful to live somewhere that has so many colorful flowers. 

Here is another pretty pink one....

A beautiful red rosy.....

This cheerful yellow and pink bloom made Mama smile.

Let's wrap things up with a red rosy with shiny raindrops!



Although it's will be little sad not to see the rosies in the Winter, it makes it that much more exciting when we see them next Spring!


We hope all our friends get out to see some nature this weekend!!

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.

Daddy Walks on Thankful Thursday

We are celebrating November with gratitude again this year.  Every day during the month we will find something to be thankful for, be it big or small, to share with you. 

Today, on Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday, I wanted to say how thankful I am for special weekend walkies with Daddy!

When Daddy tags along, we walk faster and Daddy let's me hunt bunnies and lizards!

Sometimes we get to go to special places...

Best of all,  it's always guaranteed we will get to walk little longer with Daddy along.


Weekend walkies with Daddy are definitely in my top five Thankfuls of the year!!

Thank you to Maxwell and Angel Brian for hosting the
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop

Robins Return on Backyard Wildlife Wednesday

We are celebrating November with gratitude again this year.  Every day during the month we will find something to be thankful for, be it big or small, to share with you. 

Most backyards in states to the north of us look to American Red Robins to tell them when Spring begins. Here, in the high desert of New Mexico, the Robins like to come down here in the Fall and stay until the Spring. 

Today, we are thankful the American Robins have made their way back to our backyard this Fall. 
TC caught some fun footage of them playing in the fountain:

Thankful for the FINAL Balloon Parade



We are celebrating November with gratitude again this year.  Every day during the month we will find something to be thankful for, be it big or small, to share with you.

Today, I am thankful for the FINAL balloon parade of the year. 

 Mama is thankful to have had the balloons fly by again two days after her visit to the Balloon Fiesta so she could get some more pictures of the balloons.  So, here we have another "Less Speak, More Peek" final look at the 2025 Fiesta balloons.









Here is a video Mama put together of the morning parade:

We (especially Mama) are so very thankful for everyone who stopped by to take a look at ALL the 2025 Balloon Fiesta pictures and video Mama captured of the event. We know how happy balloons make Mama and we (well, most of us) can't wait for the 2026 Balloon Fiesta!
