" My Excellent Adventure "....

I love it when the Summer moon turns mellow and the nights get cold, I love taking off the summer bedding and putting the heavier bedding back on. Sleeping under warmth... so comfortable! I love to wake up to sights like this, a neighbors sprinklers telling everyone that Autumn is here and winter is not far behind. So, I decide to head up to Fishlake for my walk this morning, hoping that I have not missed out on the Autumn leaves

I love the tall yellow grass and the milk weed with the river behind it all...such beauty!

I love the red berry's...their little cheeks are plump and ready to feed the brave little birds of winter~

The Fremont river, it irrigates all the farms..is full of fish too. There are always deer along here as I go for my walk~

Allred point... one of my places to walk, the road follows along the beautiful Fremont River

I'm almost there...hoping that I'm not too late to see Autumn come to Fishlake~

~ A pretty sight...cattle grazing by the lake~

~A family I know who are camped by the lake...up checking on their herds of cattle~

The dogs on the trail of a deer, squirrels who hide acorns, or those woodchucks that disappear!

This beautiful lake sits at almost 9000 ft. is 6 miles long...170 ft. deep and covers 2,500 acres. It's full of rainbow trout, trophy-size mackinaw, up to 30 lb. or more. The temp. is 50*, so you wouldn't want to go there for swimming. In the day time it's about 80* with about 50* at night. In the winter time it freezes over to about 6 ft. of ice and then the ice fishermen come.

My friend Cougar... he is almost a year old and is really "full of it"...he is SO loving and so much fun!

~Cabins sit on the side of the mountain, over looking the lake~

Little paths to walk all over...my husband can make the best whistle's out of these willows..and they really whistle!

~This beautiful stream is full of BIG fish...it was nice to be there today without so many people all over the place~

The Fishlake Lodge, my favorite place ever, built in 1911, I can't believe it still operates today!

The trees have changed so quickly, I almost missed it all! They've all changed to raiment of red and gold~

~Fishlake...all decked out for Fall~

The trees in their Autumn splendor

I even found a rock along the path that was all dressed up for Halloween, he was looking a little ghostly, but he didn't scare me one bit! Isn't he cute?!

When I got back, the shadows were falling softly inside my home...I love to see that each day

My dog Cougar told me a secret that I need to remember, he said; "A dog has lots of friends because he wags his tail instead of his tongue." (He was smiling as he said it, but I got the point!) So I'll bring this to an end now

Autumn...the loveliest season of the year! It's so fun to decorate our homes and bake our little hearts out at this time of the year. But there are excellent adventures outside for us to discover too.

I took my two dogs out for a walk as I do very morning, it was a little colder but that just required a little heavier jacket. I hadn't seen enough of the Autumn leaves, so I loaded the dogs in the truck and off we went to Fishlake. I love this beautiful place any time of the year, it has a long trail that goes the length of the lake. One morning, I walked right into a moose eating!

I hope you'll get out there and go for a walk and really soak up all that God has given to you...after all, he did give you the eyes to see it all, and the ears to hear it all, and the nose to smell all the wonderful renewing smells, and the touch to feel it all...all that he has created for you! Don't miss it!
