A Fall Day with A+A

SO it is a beautiful fall day in New England( it is going to rain later, but that is later and this is now) and we are not going to have too many days left to play in our favorite place the Arboretum,(we have a feeling this is going to be a bad winter) and we haven't posted all week so we thought we would go play there and take tons of pictures...so this will make up for no blog in a week as we have a lot to show you..... And fall in New England is one of the greatest things ever!!!!The colors are BRILLIANT right now!!!!!!! And it will not be long before all the leaves fall off...(boo hoo)







This is the little hill we climbed to get to the woods.......

Still climbing.....

Ta Da !! Here we are!! See a lot of leaves have already fallen....We were really crunching(well PL2 more than us) when we walked.....

I immediately "went to ground" because tomorrow is my big event earthdog day(it may rain and then we are not going but I have mentally prepared myself so I won't get too upset,and Archie said if it does rain we can just stay in and eat popcorn and play board games..)

Little sucker went to the other side of the tree....doesn't he know who I am??? The GREAT EARTHDOG AGATHA "J"(maybe soon to be JE but maybe not........)

OK traveling on in the woods...

Hold on...we have to scan something here.......

WAIT A MINUTE HERE.......CHIPMUNK ALERT CHIPMUNK ALERT.......

WAIT OVER THERE...............A COYOTE?????????????????? Nah........

Traveling on deeper into our woods............Arch was fascinated by that tree..who knows why....

OK now we traveling down the woods and are going to end up by the little swimming brook that I LOVE in the summer.......

Before we got there though we found this little plant and the 3 of us were fascinated by it as it was soo different but we don't know what it is.....

Still going down to the little brook.....

There it it is on the right...WHOA there is barely any water in it!!!!!!! We took the great Sophina La Brador there...ah the days of summer..........


Here we are in absolute scanning mode......you have to be really really quiet to scan and listen.....

so then we were out of the woodsy part and were going to walk up this path to go to the Conifer path..and PL2 said well now we can have this..............
APPLE!! Our favorite!!!!!!!(Archie was so excited he is laughing in this picture!!) there was a few problems however...PL2 got apple all over the camera and Archie sort of licked the camera as well so some of the following pictures maybe a little gooey or applely or blurry......

This is the 2 of us after eating our apple....See how happy we are??!!!!

Look at the yellow of this tree!!!!

Oh this kid was a RIOT!!! His name was Chico and guess where he was from PUERTO RICO!!! He was only a baby(4 months old) and he was already bilingual Of course did PL2 get a picture while we were chatting??? No only as he was walking away...geesh....

Hold on for another minute.....scanning...scanning.......

Checking out the pee mail(we were about a week behind in our reading.....)

You know what this is!!! We affectionately call it COYOTE PATH!!!!!!!!! Not one sighting since that famous day.......Of course if PL2 meets people here this is the first thing out of her mouth .ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the way out we saw this..and a light bulb went off in BOTH of our heads!!!! THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO NEXT YEAR!! But for dogs not people!!! We can show them the best roaching spots, and where the famous Lenny and Sophie walked(Arch is thinking of putting in a golden pathway) and where the chipmunks are and where PL1 saw the coyote!! WHAT A GREAT IDEA!! Archie said we could wear little tour guide hats and everything!!!!! So instead of being sad when we left we were all pumped up!!!!!!
