Happy Spooky Season!

OMD, I can't believe it's Spooky Season already!! Mama and I are working to get some spooky fun Backyard Wildlife Wednesday videos together for the month. Today we're starting with our most recent  cat and mouse "stalker video":

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

I still can't believe kitties visit our fountain when we aren't around!!!

With Spooky season here,  the big plastic buckets filled with silly costumes and props have come out of storage.  This signals the beginning of  "Dress Up Season".   This October, Rosy and I have decided to go with the flow. As a result, we'll be dressing up in fun and silly costumes all month long.  

We figure its the least we can do to make our pawrents, and maybe your humans too, smile a little.

Plus, we heard there may be rotisserie chicken involved as "thank you cookies"!

Getting Ready for Balloon Month

 

 Beth here today, I'm giving the pups the day off in preparation for 

lots of Halloween dressing up in October. 

In addition to Dress Up month, October is also

Balloon Fiesta Month....

Since the first year we moved to the area, the ABQ International Balloon Fiesta has been one of my most favorite times of the year. We have balloons fly over our neighborhood all year round but, starting at the end of September and all through the month of October,  we seem to see at least one fly over the house every day!

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

 I'm looking forward to an October filled with hot air balloons....and taking pictures of cute pups dressed up in silly costumes!

October is definitely one of my happiest months!

Squirrel Wars

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!!

Today, on Nature FF Friday, we have a short film for your viewing pleasure. You see, we have a "Next Door Squirrel". That's right, we have a squirrel living in the garage next door.  We have warned him MANY times to stay in his own yard and he REFUSES to stay put!

The following film is just one of the many battles we have had with him:

(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)

The squirrel may have won this battle, but he has NOT won the war!

We hope everyone gets out to enjoy some Nature this weekend!

From Mama: We are NOT happy about the squirrel "living" in the garage of house next door. It is a long story, the house is not lived in, and the owner has been notified many times. Les sigh....

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.

Thank You Cookie Thankfuls

 

After every photo shoot, Mama presents us with "thank you cookies". These are usually special, delicious cookies to reward us for our hard work. 

Today, on Thankful Thursday, Mama is thankful we are ideal models (most of the time) and we are VERY thankful for "Thank You" cookies!

BWW -Summer Hummer Farewell

One of the saddest part of September, is saying goodbye to the hummingbirds. This week we all shed a tear when Mama took down the last feeder. We'll miss these little tough guys. 

Here is some of the final footage TC caught of our Summer Hummers:

I guess maybe we should be careful of our zoomie speed limits.

BOL!

September at Sasebo Gardens, Pirate Style

Ahoy Mateys, Cap'n Rosy Sparrow here! 

Tis another Friday where we take a peek at nature throughout the lands and meet some new deck hands! Sail along with me to the South Seas of Sasebo for a peek at the flora and fauna in this great month of September.

The grounds be all manicured and raked. 

with pretty trees everywhere.

There are even still signs of the warmer weather....

I wondered if my pirate ship might fit in the pond. Then I realized the monster koi might attack and sink it. Best to steer clear!

Some lush fauna...perfect for hiding buried treasure!

Aaaaaaarrrrgh, if it weren't for the monster koi we could search the caves behind that waterfall for treasure!

...and by treasure, of course,  I mean foodies!

Mam' made one of these new fangled slideshow/videos featuring the Pagodas and statues of the garden (along with some relaxing waterfall sounds):

The days may be warm, but Autumn be sneaking into the Sasebo region.

These leaves be a turnin'

Very appealin' reds an' yellows don't ya think?

We be seenin' some strange lookin' pods with shiny pearls in 'em.

What do you think, should we plunder them??

The berries be a turnin' red and shiny too.  A sure sign that the colder months are on the way!

Thanky Mateys for comin' along on this journey through Sasebo on Talk like a Pirate Day.

We hope all our Mateys get out and see some flora and fauna 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.

Thankful for Outside Time

I sure am thankful for the cooler weather September brought. Most mornings Mama brings my blanket outside. This way I can relax while she drinks her coffee and points out any new birdies that TC might be filming. Then we brainstorm what future Backyard Wildlife Wednesday where we may want to feature said birdy.

 

Rosy may enjoy her morning walks, but I am very thankful for my outside birdy brainstorming time with Mama!

Sneaky Texas Road Trip Peeks (Last Day)

 Mama is wrapping up her Texas road trip adventures today. You know, the trip where she abandoned Sunny and I at home with Daddy. Yes, Daddy gives us cheese and spoils us rotten...Unfortunately,  Daddy does NOT make puppachinos for us every morning! 

Anyways...here are some peeks at Mama's long drive back home!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drive home was full of giggles, good food, napping(my niece) and listening to Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and other upbeat tunes!

But first, breakfast!

The Blubonnet Cafe opened in 1926. The restaurant holds so may special memories as we have been coming here with  my parents since they moved to the area in 1999. My niece (now 26) has been coming here every year since she was born!

Always in search of "off beat" coffee stops, Mojo Coffee was a fun and delicious way to start the long drive back!

Buccee's Forever!

Texas is the "birthplace" of Buccees, so we made sure to make it part of the ride home!

You can't leave Buccee's without buying something. I thought this Cowboy Duck air freshener made a nice addition to my collection of quackers.

By the time I got home , I felt a lot like this little green guy.  The wonderful weekend spent with my niece and my Dad made it well worth the drive time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Thanks Sunny, for letting me share my trip to Texas with our friends.

I suppose it's ok, Mama, but Rosy and I expect double puppachino's for at least the next seven days!
