Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2007. We took Mattie to Butler's Orchard that weekend for pumpkin picking and a hayride! The Orchard had to be my favorite Fall Festival around. Mainly because they had a great corn maze, wagon rides, and a trip out to their actual pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins! As you can see we left that day with several wonderful hand picked pumpkins.
Quote of the day: I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. ~ John Muir
Indie gets a lot of outdoor time! In fact, I have never had a cat who demanded it! She is excellent because you can let her outside, but she NEVER strays from the deck area. Now that doesn't mean she won't walk the periphery of our deck wall. She will! But she never leaves the boundaries of our home! One smart puss!!!
While I had the view above from my kitchen window, I had Sunny behind me.... staring at me!
It maybe Fall, but it was 80 degrees today in DC. It was beautiful! The kind of day you know you have to be outside. Last night, we planned to take Sunny to Great Falls, VA. We took Mattie to Great Falls before, and he loved it. Since Sunny loves adventure and walking (as did Mattie), we had a feeling he would enjoy it!
This is a view of the Falls!
People were Kayaking today, the water was so smooth.
We paused on top of the rocks and I snapped a photo of Sunny and Peter. We walked about four miles today. We weren't sure how Sunny would take to trails that had rocks on it. Sunny LOVED it. He did not slow down, as he literally can gallop up rocks of any size!
They even walked through a dried up canal lock! Sunny wanted to do this as he was hot on the trail of a squirrel!
After our walk, we had a picnic in the park. I brought lunch for Peter, Sunny, and myself! I think Sunny truly loved the experience and could have continued walking!
This evening.... Indie is back outside. Look at her looking up at me from Mattie's window!

Many times your blog makes me feel like I am on the adventure with you & Peter. Sunny, certainly, was the perfect dog for you.
I loved the entire adventure but most of all, I loved the picture of you and Mattie in the wagon with those pumpkins.
There is no hint in this picture of all the sorrow to come. The beauty of the photo is lasting like Mattie's smile!!!!
