It won’t be long…

Soon we will be seeing the beauty of autumn unfold around us.

Our local ski resorts will be preparing for the winter season.

Our horses will be filled with a spirit from their ancestors.

Our equine trail time will wind down.

And our protégés will have the winter to ponder next summer’s adventures.

It will be a time for slow, easy walks down our Berry Beary Blvd., drinking in the sights and scents of fall.

Our woodland cabins will signal warmth as wood smoke curls from above.

And our sled dogs will rest on the trails, knowing an exciting winter awaits them.

And our aged dog, Satch, will begin her 18th year, enjoying her days at Russ-Stick Acres.

Her doggy Heaven on earth.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing (and winking),

Whenever Rustic Russ and I get a chance, we head out for a walk on our trails.

We enjoy visiting.

And hearing the latest news.

Berry Beary Blvd. is especially exciting in the fall.

Berries are bountiful and Zip always seems to scare up about a dozen “Pats”.

The other night she jumped for one as it flew up past her.

When she’s not startling the partridges, she “helps” pick berries.

Odd though, she never seems to have any to contribute to the cause.

This week, we saw the first evidence of winter approaching.

But for now, we will enjoy our snowless trails and quiet walks.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing,
