FFF - Goodbye 2023
Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!! Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!!
by Rosy
So much happened in 2023
so many trips, so much to see.
January started off sad, we said goodbye
to our beloved Jakey, who was such a good guy.
February was better, even a bit funny
as I got reaquainted with my sister Sunny.
In March was adventure, what was it to be?
Why our first annual trip in our good pal CeCe!
April brought Spring, when Sunny turned three,
it also brought a trip to Bonito Hollow in lovely CeCe.
May was exciting, with alpacas in a barn,
and we didn't even do one bit of harm!
June brought green leaves, flowers and hummers,
along with the heat of the first days of Summer
July had sharks, you know that gives Mama her kicks,
but more important than that it was the month I turned SIX!
August was quiet except for a place that was famous,
when we went to visit the "other Las Vegas"
September was the month that we liked the best,
we went to the Rockies where Daddy could rest!
October was full of costumes and dreams,
we dressed up everyday for silly Halloween!
In November we were thankful for a month costume free,
and also for turkey, and many more treats.
That brings us to December, and some howliday fun,
it was festive, but we are glad it is done.
What is coming in 2024? Well we can't see,
but we sure hope it is as good as 2023!

Before and After at the Botanical Garden
We will be taking a short Blog Break to enjoy Christmas with Family and will return next Thursday, December 28th.
Today, on Nature Friday,we are going to give you a bit of a tease on a post coming up the first week of the New Year.
The Botanical Gardens puts up a big display of holiday lights every year called the "River of Lights". The pawrents visited last week and saw some of the prettiest displays they have ever seen!
A few days before they visited the beautiful display, Mama visited the Gardens during the day and got some "before" pictures. It was gret tp be able to compare the "befores" with the "afters"!
Here is just one example....
Before dark......
After dark!!!
Whoah....CRAZY, right?!!!
Stay tuned for more pretty lights on the first Nature Friday of 2024!!
...and stay tuned next Friday for the final FFF of 2023, hosted by YAM Aunty!
We hope everyone gets to see some Holiday 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!

Thankful for an Original Advent Calendar
This week, we wanted to say how thankful we were for an Advent Calendar with all our favorite goodies. I'm not sure you know this or not, but Rosy and I are pretty picky about our treats. We don't eat too many crunchy treats, and really prefer smaller, softer treats.This year, instead of buying a prepackaged Advent Calendar, Mama refilled our Advent Calendar from last year with our most favorite treats and some fun toys too!!
Here is a video Mama made of us getting some of our Advent Treats!
We told Mama to squish twenty days into two minutes so she had to speed it up a little.
You can also watch it HERE, on our YouTube channel!
Thanks Mama, for all the tasty Advent fun this year!!
(don't worry, we still have treats coming until Christmas Eve...and beyond BOL)
Thank you Angel Brian for hosting the
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Model Train Extravaganza
Today, on a very happy Travel Tuesday, we are going to take a look at the Model Railway at the Moffat Train Museum!
There are two model train rooms in the museum. In the first room the pawrents explored, they found a replica of the Moffat Railway that was still being constructed.
The pawrents were amazed at the detailing of the trees and landscape
as they built the mountains.
The bridges and tunnels were also amazing.
Mama and Daddy are looking forward to visiting this exhibit again to see what it looks like when it's finished!
The other model train exhibit was their Christmas trains!
A colorful amusement park, multiple trains and even airplanes populate this 1100sf room!
Mama was mesmerized by all the detailed scenes
There was even a ski lift and a dried up lake!!!
The Hogwarts Castle nestled into the mountains gave Mama a giggle!
Here is a video Mama took...
You can also watch it HERE on our YouTube Channel
We hope you enjoyed a little taste of the Moffat Railroad Museum's Model Railroad. You can read more about the railroad, and enjoy the Museum's Model Railway video
How many more costumes does Mama have, Rosy??
I don't know Sunny, but she promises the madness will end Christmas Day!
We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the
Happy Tuesday Blog Hop this week!

Nature Friday at the Bellagio
Happy Nature Friday, howliday style, part deux!
Today, we're going to look at pictures Mama took from the Bellagio during her trip to Las Vegas!
The Bellagio was still in Autumn mode when the pawrents were there,
the theme this Autumn was "Enchantment"
There were mushrooms covered in pretty colored flowers...
Beautiful Faeries
..and gorgeous sunflowers!
It all looks very whimsical!
They had a couple of pretty stone cottages covered with flowers with windows that looked like butterfly wings.
A beautiful "Lady in the Moon" looked on from up above with her
friend the owl.
Of course, there was a faerie princess. Look at the beautiful flowers covering her skirt!
It really does look like a beautiful view!
Here is a short video Mama Made
You can also watch it HERE on our YouTube Channel
We hope you enjoyed the flower covered sights from the Bellagio Gardens and we hope everyone gets 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.
