OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS

 

I spent the weekend in the woods again.  On the way to the woods, my very cool grand-dog, Scout, watched clouds from the car window.

A couple of hitchhikers tried to convince us to give them a ride.

But, we left them standing on the side of the road and headed to the cabin, where three of my grands and Scout studied the woods from our new screened porch.

We picked sunflowers.

A vintage truck in the cornfield was a fun discovery, and a good photo op.

  16. You had me at the first photo! I was actually looking for a photo of a dog in sunglasses for a recent dog days post. Didn't see ANY as cute as yours.

    I also love those shots on the truck. They look like a page out of a magazine.

    It looks like wonderful family fun to me!
