The moments that take your breath away...

 I don't have much to say.  I am sharing all of the photos I took on Veterans Day.  Dollor started my morning bright and early.  Just in time to see the sunrise. I'm not a morning person, but I do love a good sunrise.  Lately they have been breathtaking. 

Then at about 5:30 pm the light show began....

After running around like crazy getting photos with the cabin, I poured a glass of wine and sat on the upper deck watching the show.  I could hear our mountain lion below and the geese flying overhead.  Could it get any better than that? 

I'm thankful I live in a place where I can enjoy natures beauty.  While others had to drive to get out of the light pollution I just stepped outside my door.  Did you get to see the lights?  Have the sunrises been as amazing where you are?  I don't think Mother Nature could have done a better job of thanking our Veterans.  

A little of this and a little of that...

 I had to laugh today.  I was busy doing stuff in the kitchen when suddenly I realized it was quiet.  Too quiet.  Immeadiatly, I started looking for Dollor.  He was just watching me from the couch.  I looked all over then realized he was still on the couch.  He was at the other end and pulled a blanket over himself.  I guess he was miffed that I shut off the fire.

Everything is eating around here.  I guess the snow has all the creatures in bulk up mode.  This chipmunk found it much harder to get out of the feeder with filled cheeks, compared to when he got in. I am amazed at how many seeds they can get in there.  

My husband tossed the giant pumpkin down to the deer.  It didn't take them long to find it.  Most of it is already eaten.  

Earlier this week our friend from Minnesota came out to deer hunt.  We went to his cabin last year bear hunting.  I'm afraid he left empty handed, but it sure was nice having company.  His note says it all.

I was hoping to see the northern lights this week, but it was too cloudy.  

Who was the last visitor you had?  Do the deer eat your pumpkins?

Another day another Dollor...

 I was pretty busy last week.  The weather was perfect.  Dollor is growing by leaps and bounds.  

We got some snow this week.  Luckily it didn't stick.  I'm bummed I missed his first snowfall.  My husband said he got the zoomies.  

The sunrises and sunsets have been beautiful lately.  

I have always wanted to try making Danish pastries. It is an all-day event, so I set aside a rainy day to make them.  You roll out the dough, spread butter over it, fold everything up, re-roll, refrigerate, roll, fold, refrigerate, roll, fold, and bake. They didn't turn out as I had hoped.  They looked good.  If you are interested in giving it a try this is the recipe I used.

Despite the bad Danish it was a good week.  I took most of it off and just enjoyed the fall weather. 

Did you have a nice week?  Did you get any trick-or-treaters?  We live too far so we never see any.
