Withdrawals

October 2, 2018
St. Johnsville, NY

Oh my, I am having serious withdrawal.  I just had a fantastic week in Fort Ann, NY at Aunt Janice's house (Mom's sister) with their lab, Ciar, who was friendly but not real playful

and ....more fun yet.... with their daughter's pup, Cali, a silver lab that they were dog sitting.  

Cali loves to play as much as I do so we played, and played and played some more!!  I have to admit, I slept soundly every night!!  So did Cali!!  Boy do I miss her 😜

We 'camped' in their driveway with the mountains in the background.   I got to explore all that green grass off lead for a change.  Dad and I got to try out my latest toy. It's called a 'Chuck It'. 

Dad chucks the ball with his wand and I retrieve the ball so he can chuck it again.  I'm trying to keep Dad in shape.  LOL

This is apple season which equals cider donuts and apple pie.  Hick's orchard makes cider donuts daily and Aunt Janice said they are at their best when eaten warm and to prove her point, she took Momma and Dad right to the donut maker at Hick's orchard.

The donuts are dropped in the oil, cook as they are traveling to the other end of the donut making machine where they hop on a conveyor dumping them next a huge bowl of cinnamon sugar. 

Momma used the apples they brought home to whip up a couple of apple pies.

I'm not sure if Dad's smile was bigger than Uncle Robin's but I know they both licked their plates.

The fields in the area are looking pretty bare, except for the field that must be getting ready for the senior's corn maze.  Do you think you could handle the maze with ALL those cornstalks?  Hee hee  I mean, why else would you see a huge field with only 3 stalks left standing?

We departed Fort Ann in rain, arrived in St. Johnsville in rain and we are now in our second day of rain....which means.....no Chuck It time or frisbee time for me.  Yep, more withdrawals. 

Rain, rain, go away.  

This puppy needs a day of play.
