Make A Wish Time My favorite part of Thanksgiving comes after the feasting! Today after the meal was done, I got the wishbone.  Ms. Donkey and I made wishes and had some fun pulling. Guess what? We couldn't break it. I think that means, both our wishes will come true!

Autumn in the Wine Country In October, Beth and the Fam were in Napa. I got to spend some time climbing in the vines. The leaves were changing!  But these vines were not growing out in the vineyards.  These vines were growing up a wall. See me?
Inglenook Winery has more than wine. It has the most fabulous old building. I just sat on the red leaves and imagined living there.
Now that it's November and I'm back in Texas, I'm just sitting around imagining those fall colors. I miss them! Treasures at the Beach I've posed on beaches with all kinds of sand and coral and seaweed and shells.  This is the first time I've posed on a beach with pieces of sea glass.  Sea glass is a really nice name for stuff that started out as trash. This beach area near Fort Bragg, was a dump for about 60 years. The yucky stuff is gone and the smooth little treasures remain.  Beth hunted for glass pieces and then she let me pick out my favorite. The round green piece was tiny and smooth, like a little jewel.
I love it. Near Fort Bragg, California Beth doesn't always pull me out of the camera bag when we visit a beach. I've been in too many beach photos already.  But the beach at Fort Bragg had funny succulent grass stuff. I don't know what you call it, but it was sturdy and I climbed all over it.
I had a wonderful time and then Beth gasped. She looked behind me and I figured a seagull was about to swoop down and grab me. That almost happened a few years ago.  But it wasn't a flying friend, it was a furry one. He was just enjoying the moist grassy stuff like me.  I begged Beth to wait it out. Maybe the odd little squirrel would come closer and we could pose together in a photo. I've posed with a few animals in my time.  But Beth snatched me up and tucked me away. "That squirrel is hungry!" She insisted. "I'm not taking any chances."
Oh well. Moss and Ferns Last month, Beth took me on a hike to Multnomah Falls.  It was cool and moist and Beth posed me on some moss covered rocks, next to some cool plants. On a Stump I wanted to pose with the waterfall, but Beth put me on a stump.  The grain and bark was so smooth. It felt like the fake wood of a log flume ride, at an amusement park. Columbia River But I actually really liked my spot on the stump. The Columbia River was rolling on, right behind me!  I like Oregon.
Northern California Earlier in October I was in California. We went to a huge pumpkin patch on "Apple Hill" with Beth's family.  But there were too many kids and puppies posing with the pumpkins. I waited until the next day, when we found a quieter setting with pumpkins.  There were no puppies or kids at this winery in Napa. If there had been, they would have had a tricky time posing with the pumpkins in the pond. Inglenook Winery What a peaceful and crazy scene! Pumpkins, sitting on cinderblocks, with a view of the vineyards beyond!  I was happy to be the only one who was able to climb on a pumpkin! Luckily Beth's arm was long enough to reach!
Yay for pumpkins! Near Saugatuck, Michigan Here I am on a summer day in Michigan.  I was snuggled up against some sun-warmed bark.  The tree was dead, but the view was lovely.  Except Beth posed me, facing away from Lake Michigan! But I smiled for the camera. Can you see me?
Douglas, Michigan  I love flowers, but I get tired of Beth posing me in them. I'm glad she found me a special place to sit, where I could look down on the garden flowers.  This was a very strange sculpture. The artist's palette was my favorite part. I sat where the artist's thumb would be. It was nice.
Frankenmuth, MI I love Hydrangeas! I never see them in Texas.  On a hot summer day, the cool flower petals made a very refreshing bed!  Sitting in the flowers, beneath that awesome sign, I started getting hungry. There were lots of people heading into Zehnders for fried chicken!  No chicken for me. Beth stuffed me into her camera bag, when a family approached. They asked if she would take their photo and I was forgotten.
But the family didn't get to sit in the Hydrangeas. Lucky me. Country Dairy  On our road trip in July, Don and Beth stopped at the Country Dairy. Beth drank some chocolate milk in the store and then we went out to look for cows.  At first, all we saw was green grass and white fences. Then the barn doors opened and black and white Holsteins began wandering down the hill!  I've posed on fences before, but never on a cow. I asked Beth and she said, "No. Those Holsteins are busy grazing." A Different Cow
