Plum Wonderful!

In all our years of trail walks, today was the most wonderful!  The breeze was almost chilly (in mid-August!) and the foliage was super thick and green.  Linda decided to leave her phone home this morning so there are not any photos. (Instead, here is a photo of Noah really enjoying his breakfast plum this morning with Aunt Sarah!)  We did come across something interesting during the hike.  There were a few beautiful hawk feathers and some tufts of fur.  It looks like maybe the hawk and it's dinner had a scuffle.  Along the way we met a Scottie dog (Chimmie was petrified of him) and a big brown fat lab (Chimmie loved him.)  He can sense from 30 feet away if he likes a dog or not.  I just love every dog we meet, no matter what the size.  Once at our Town's Festival, I got nipped at by another Yorkie.  I think she was just jealous of how cute I was.  That is the only time I've ever had a negative experience with another dog.  To our knowledge, Chim has never had a bad experience so we don't know why he is so skittish.
