we spent some time with the rivers and the creeks this past week. darla enjoyed throwing things into said bodies of water. it was very nice of mother nature to give us those temperature spikes that allowed for some outdoor exploration. this is pretty fantastic time of year for getting a last little communion with nature.
although, i am hoping for some winter hikes this year :)
i think you all should know that she was trying to teach the ducks to fetch in that second photo. she’s special.
hope you’re not too far into your christmas season to take a looksie at a bit of our thanksgiving. we celebrated our love of butter and darla, aka smiling pony, spent most of her free time chasing woody. 
thanks to my parents for the lovely, fattening holiday
and…
our family photo one more time because i love it.
still didn’t make the cut this year. she doesn’t even have kitties so….
yeah.
she must just be thankful for cats in general.
