The Tales of The Traveling Tote #42

Welcome to another adventure of  The Tales of the Traveling Tote.  We are a group of women who share our adventures with our named  Mackenzie Child's tote whether far or near. Since Paul and I haven't really traveled, we decided to visit some local places.

Christmas decorating with one of my totes.
Every Christmas I visit Pottery World to see their fabulous decorations,  Of course I have to sneak in a photo of the huge bear greeting shoppers. Miss Lola loves the attention.
Pottery World's Christmas decor is over the top.  So gorgeous.


For Christmas Paul had gifted me this darling pink fur onesie. Below is the video I created with my hummingbirds.  They stay here year round.

Hummers

In January Paul, my son Jason, his dog plus Jain and Scott hiked through Hidden Falls.
There was a beautiful waterfall.  You can ride horses through there and also electric bikes.
Jain and Scott also brought their two border collies along.
Hidden Falls
The falls were so beautiful with plenty of rushing water. Below is a video of the falls.

Lovely ferns growing near the water.
Miss Tootsie and I on our hike.  Miss Lola is way too large to bring along.

Jason, his dog, Daisy and Paul and I.

Scott and Rosie.
My son Jason and Dasiy.
The daffodils are blooming.  I am ready for spring. This week has been lovely with temps around 70.
I did some weed eating and garden clean-up.

I hope you visit the other traveling tote gals to see where their travels took them.

  1. Good morning, and Happy March, Linda! Don't you love that little crossbody? I use mine quite a bit. Cute name, Tootsie. Love the hike you took to Hidden Falls, it reminds me of places in WV. So, Jason has multiple fur babies. I'm glad he still has Daisy since his Raider crossed the rainbow bridge. Like you, we didnt travel this last quarter. I sometimes forget photos too, a sign of what, dare I say aging? Send the hummingbirds our way! It'll be mid-April or later before we see them.

  2. Good morning Linda, Fun shopping and hiking with beautiful scenery. I’m so envious of your year ‘round hummers! I can’t get over the numbers of them. It’s a full-time job to keep your feeders clean and filled with those numbers! Our Ruby-throats arrive around mid-April but we don’t see a lot activity around our feeders until August when they start feeding in preparation for migrating. They’re way too territorial too to share feeders like that, Happy March!

  3. Miss Lola sure gets around! I love the Pottery Bear, the Pink Onesie, and Miss Lola among the daffodils!

  4. You've had a lovely time of it with Miss Lola. Those holiday decorations take my breath away. It would be a dangerous spot for me to visit! The pink onesie reminds me of the outfit Ralphie's aunt sends him for Christmas in "The Christmas Story," one of my favorite, most endearing films! All lovely, Linda!

  5. The Falls look like a beautiful area to stroll around! I wish we had a Pottery World - looks like emy kind of place! Paul chose a cute gift, warm and cozy! EEEnjoy spring - those daffodils make me anxious for it to arrive (as the snowflakes are dancing in the wind again today!)

  6. I would love to join you shopping at Pottery World, all those great ideas for decorating! You look so adorable in your pink onesie! I love all the fun you and your family enjoyed on your hike. Such a beautiful place and the falls are so gorgeous. We are always sad to see the hummingbirds leave, you are so fortunate to enjoy them year round. Wishing you a beautiful and happy March dear Linda.

  7. I enjoyed my travels with you to your favorite shopping spots and the gorgeous hike! I’m thankful the Jason still has Daisy to keep him company after he lost his beloved Raider. Seeing your hummingbirds always makes me happy! Happy March!

  8. You look adorable in your pink onesie, Paul has good taste. Boy would I love to have a Pottery World, and would probably be there daily :-) Always enjoy seeing photos of your hummingbirds and surroundings. You hiked to a beautiful place with the pups. Sweet photo of Jason and Daisy, and sorry to hear he lost his beloved Raider. Happy March!

  9. Oh to have those wonderful temps. We actually hit 68 here in Chicago yesterday but it was a one day event. Back to the 30's today. Hoping as March begins we will continue to a nice spring. Sweet picture of your son and his sweet dog. Have a good weekend. Hugs. Kris

  10. That pink onesie is just adorable, Linda and you look adorable in it!! What a fun gift! The falls are beautiful and I envy your warm weather. Today it's 60 but there's still snow on the ground and tomorrow it's supposed to dip down below freezing again. Whomp whomp. Hahaha! Have a great weekend!!

  11. Linda, I would love shopping at Pottery World! Hiking at the falls sounds like a wonderful outing. Our hummingbirds usually come in May and stay through September. You are too cute in the pink onesie! Happy March!

  13. Yes you do look cute in that pink onsie outfit. Thanks for taking us along on the travels with your bags. The falls are beautiful and how nice to see the hummingbirds. How lucky to enjoy that warm spring like weather and wishing you a happy March.

  14. Linda, that is one giant bear! I would love visiting Pottery World, especially at Christmas. Your outdoor hiking spot sounds ideal. How nice that you and Paul have become such good friends with Jain and Scott. I am grateful for how our accounts have spawned these real life friendships. I know you are enjoying the fabulous weather. It is warming here again, and the garden is calling. Tomorrow the clean up begins!

  16. Wow that store really does go all out with their Christmas decor. I miss long wooded hikes so much; this time of year it's hard to get out with all the ice and snow everywhere.. but we keep trying anyway! That waterfall is beautiful.

  17. You are so cute in your pink onesie. I love it! The daffodils are in full bloom here, too. I've never been so ready for spring! You live in the prettiest place to enjoy nature and hikes. :D Happy Mardi Gras!

  18. Isn't Miss Tootsie the cutest bag ever?!!
    I am loving your pink onesie - I could use that nightly. We are still cold and no bulbs even peeking up yet. I am always jealous when you warmer weather ladies start the flowers and spring so early. We had a little snow this morning. Wishing I was back in Cabo when that happens.
