so... today.... the daughter and I drove up to New York state to visit a couple of friends and their fabulous pups.

The weather was amazing. We kept going in and out of raindrops.... and then there would be these gorgeous blue skies for a brief moment... the light was awesome. Of course, the scenery was great as well... as we were driving in and around small towns, villages... over hills... past rivers and lakes...

And we were amazed to see that there was still quite a bit of color on the trees in spots.

Halfway through our visit... we were blessed with a gorgeous rainbow... just in front of our friend's house... how awesome is that?!...

...and now we are back at my mother's house... and resting a bit.
