I feel just as everyone around me is complaining about the cooler weather, or wishing for another month of Summer, I am breaking out the scarves and mittens and wondering if I can have apple cider and chestnuts for every meal. Yes, I love Fall. We have been hunkered down since we returned from Scotland. It feels good to be home, doing art and enjoying piping hot tea on crisp mornings. The biggest news around here was the election yesterday, and not surprisingly, Angela Merkel took the title. This made some people very happy and others very NOT so happy. The current refugee situation is a huge point of contention and the re-emergence of the alt-right party is alarming a lot of people. They actually got enough votes yesterday and will be in government for the first time since Hitler. So that will be interesting. Other than that, Octoberfest has started (yes, I know it is still September) so I am sure southern Germany is swollen with visitors from around the world, drinking large quantities of German beer. I am satisfied to have the same experience at my dining table. So, that is that, and here is what is new around Tyrrellville...
Flowers are so cheap here. These roses were 2 euros at the grocery store... who can say no to that!
Apples apples and more apples
A baby chestnut and polka dot leaves
Nox showing us his fall fashion
No, we didn't run into the following creatures in the forrest... we visited a zoo and it was marvelous!
