The Week In Seven Photos

The wind was whipping this week and we finally have a few bare branches surrounded by delightful autumn color

as the leaves continue to fall.

Looking out into the yard it was a somewhat difficult decision to decide between throwing a Halloween party for the backyard visitors or working on the leaves.

The animals voted for a Halloween party and they enjoyed bobbing for walnuts,

a few pumpkins and

plenty of treats.

I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since elementary school, so I should completely understand someone not wanting to participate in some of the celebrations. ย While I was expecting a little reluctance by Harper attending her first Halloween party, I had no idea Sherlock “Harper” Holmes would take it to a new level and refuse to open her eyes until the costume was removed.

  1. Pure Harper, such a nice dress, but no, no, “I am a dog”. Huge colors in your trees, those red leaves are glowing.

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ The fall colors are perfect right now and Iโ€™ll have more time to photograph them since Harper has made it perfectly clear she does not like dressing up or having her photo taken.๐Ÿ˜

      1. Autocorrect made poor to pure, but you understood. Harper looks very cute when dressed.

    Love the little Halloween containers for the animals’ party. And little Harper is hilarious! Such a Diva! ๐Ÿ˜€

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ It took the backyard animals a little bit to adjust to the pumpkins and the first few squirrels flew right off the table when they jumped up and weโ€™re staring at a pumpkin with a hat.๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ˜ I still canโ€™t believe Harper refused to open her eyes and I have a felling that, unlike the squirrels, sheโ€™s never going to adjust to photo shoots.๐Ÿ˜

  3. Oh, too funny! Sherlock Harper was not impressed. Can’t blame her, really. Putting on costumes is for humans. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ She definitely does not want anymore clothes or costumes and Sherlock Harper is not going to be able to solve any mysteries if she refuses to open her eyes.๐Ÿ˜

  4. Oh Harper! She had no clue…
    Wonderful and colourful collection! You know how to throw a Halloweโ€™en party, and even if Harper wasnโ€™t playing, the other guests understood.
    Have a great weekend!

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ Impossible for Harper to find any clues with those eyes closed and once she opened them it was with a look of how could you do that to me. I think I may have caused a few nightmares for the squirrels and Harper.๐Ÿ˜ Hope itโ€™s the Spurs weekend for a great win against Liverpool! Enjoy the weekend and hopefully an England win against New Zealand!๐Ÿ™‚

    1. ๐Ÿ˜. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ I think we have a few more days to enjoy the fall colors before the cold and rain arrives. Little Harperโ€™s stubborn streak is growing and Iโ€™ve about given up on the outfits, but there is still a slight chance sheโ€™ll want a coat and some boots once the snow arrives.๐Ÿ˜

  7. Clearly Harper needs to associate dressing up with yummy treats. ๐Ÿ˜‰ More practice needed!
    Great fall shots – have a great weekend!

    1. Thank you!๐Ÿ˜ So far Harper is refusing to look at me, open her eyes and accept any form of bribery for a photo. We may have to revisit her modeling career when sheโ€™s a little older.๐Ÿ˜ Enjoy the weekend!๐Ÿ™‚

  8. Dear Watson,
    Evidently, Sherlock Holmes is a lot smarter than Watson. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. ๐Ÿ˜. Itโ€™s the beginning of a great partnership and my patience is equal to the task of Sherlock Harperโ€™s stubborn smarts.!๐Ÿ˜
