On this wonderfully warm November day, Argus decided to take little Byron on his first excursion into the vast Pugsville Pine Barrens bordering on the cottage south garden. Byron had a wonderful time climbing on boulders, tracking the scent of deer, eating wild blueberries, and learning more about Pugsville. Here, Byron is obviously giving orders to his Sherpa team below, as they prepare a final assault on the summit of this grand rock. Click for more pictures from today’s adventure.

Argus cuts a striking image in his fashionable hiking sweater as he shows Byron some of the old hunting trails.



Stopping for a breather by the fountain at the old manor house, they consider their options. Byron would like to explore the turtle thicket, while Argus feels it’s time to break into the picnic lunch.
