Earlier this week we got a nice break in the late fall
weather. The temperatures were in the
60s and the sun was shining bright. I
asked Olive if she would like to take a walk to see if the horses were around. She said yes, of course. So off we went.
When we got down to where the horses hang out,
they were nowhere in sight. I told a
disappointed Olive that maybe they were eating their lunch or something and we
continued on to the turtle pond. I was
surprised to hear creatures plopping into the water but I couldn’t tell if they
were turtles or frogs. That prompted me
to make a mental note to find out what happens to turtles and frogs around here
when the cold weather hits. I don’t
think I’ve ever known. Olive and I stood
around and admired the still water and the bright sunshine for a while and then
turned around to head back home. It does
get dark around here pretty early these days.
As we walked pass the horse field once again, I noticed
that one of them noticed us and began to run down the hill to say hi. Of course, if one comes to say hi, the others
follow along pretty quickly being pretty nosy and curious beings. We hung around for a little while and while I
patted some equine noses, Olive scraped around in the dirt to let them know
that that side of the fence was theirs and this side of the fence belonged to
pugs and their adoring public.
Then we said good-by and they watched us walk away as we
headed for home.
Until next time...

Love the cute dog and the beautiful horses. Beautiful scenes and photos. Have a happy weekend!
the horses are awesome, but olive steals the show. what a cutie he is!!
Lovely fall photos....so glad Olive got to see the horses. If she wants, she can come visit a very muddy one in my barn. I planted blubs yesterday and I think it may have been my last chance. You have some very pretty places to walk!
Besides the blubs, I also planted bulbs....sp check where are you?
I've always loved horses ...

Looks like you and Olive have quite the adventures. I don't know what frogs & turtles do in the winter-time...we sure have plenty here as well.
What an enjoyable walk. The lake shot is beautiful and so are the horses. Don't frogs dig down in the mud of the ponds to hibernate? If you find out let us know. :)
What a fun walk. I wondered the other day what happens to frogs come "really" cold weather because we still have some pretty good sized ones out back.
I like the pond. I think frogs and turtles bury themselves in the mud to hibernate.
Olive makes for a wonderful companion! You got some great photos--I especially like the one of the horses running. And good for Olive for making the boundaries clear. :-)
Oh, I so enjoyed this post....love that photo of the water...and then the last shot of the horses.
Oh wow you got Olive to stand still for a nice photo, what's your secret?
Such a lovely place to take a walk & the horses were wonderful.
Happy Thanksgiving.
