March Mountains

Greetings!

Finally finding time to share some of my March weekends with you :)

My Human's workie stuff seems to get in the way a lot, as I wish I could spend every day here in the fluffy cold stuff!!! But, we have found some March weekends to enjoy time in the mountains... So we hop in our camper, drive 4 hours up the road, and ahhhhh!

Last weekend was one of my favorites this month....new snow, lots of time in the new snow...and some new furpals too!

I am ALWAYS ready! Mom now brings spare orange balls...I am pretty particular about my choice of game balls! And when more fluffy white stuff comes out of the sky...well, although I am a great digger, the new snow sometimes eats my ball!

Saturday morning was pretty socked in, so I charmed mom into a DAY of just hanging out and playing with me in the snows!

You cannot tire me out in the meadow! Late afternoon Saturday, we had found a nice spot for MORE ball time...and I had a fantastic time meeting some new furpals!

We all happened to show up at the same spot... and had a great game going!

Mom would launch the ball, Max (cattle-mix) would herd me to the ball, Casey (lab) would steal the ball, and puppies Rocco (golden) and Bingo (rottie mix) would just bitey-tackle during each play. Our game went on forever, and oh what fun!

I do hope I get to meet up with any of these pals again soon!

That's Rocco and Casey in tug, and Bingo's rear side... I do get to play with Bingo each time we're in the mountains..he's a great pup! Bingo loves to hide my ball in the snow, but always finds it!

So....we've been enjoying this beautiful place.

Feels good to be in the mountain air, watching the snow glisten in the sun...

And feel the cold crystals on my furs!
Hope you are doing well my friends! Would love to hear from you.

See you again :)

Sunday Morning Drive....

Oh la la Sunday! ..this is later...

but for the morning part..mom and I took a drive..To foggy, and mysterious West Marin...to join family in Pt. Reyes Station for breakfast.

Quite unusual to have low water in Nicasio Reservoir.

During "Winter" we are typically not seeing these sandy banks.

Mom slowed down so I could say "hello" to the moo's... Not sure what I thought of these pals...

Blooms and greens in full sun today! What a nice "winter" day.

Nicasio Reservoir, even if lower than usual, still quite beautiful.

Serpentine rock outcroppings...makes for a unique soil.

We visited family for breakfast, and a visit...then turned back to head home. The fog was gone, we could see more clearly...

Signs of Spring! Mustard blooms.

When we neared home, I let mom know, I was ready for my USUAL morning routine.. Ball time!

Got it!

Happy smiles....

So happy to run for a bit....

And feel the breezes in my furs!Hope you and yours have had a nice Sunday.
See you again soon my friends.

Ah...as Winter passes...

A big greeting to all my pals! As usual, time has been passing too quickly... and Winter...what Winter? It's been much too dry here.
We have made just a few weekend trips to the mountains... A favorite stop on the way home, these boulders are usually covered in the fluffy white stuff...

A short hike takes us to Silver Lake. Clouds roll by teasing us with an evening dusting of snow... Most storms have NOT tracked our way this season.

I'm ok with the low snow, as it still makes for a nice roll and back scratch! Mmmmm.

We can see the contours of the lake. A beautiful quiet place to hike.

And play ball of course!

On my long line...just in case I decide to go-for-it in the icy lake!

Bouldering with mom!

Silly faces and yummy sticks!

Come back Winter...we need more snow pak to replinish our reservoirs!

Have a lovely week friends :) Hope to see you again soon.
