Because it is fall, there are mushrooms here, there and everywhere. Not only are they fascinating to look at; they also have a wonderfully earthy, mushroom-y smell. Unfortunately, I don’t recognise any of the them, because they are different from the ones in Denmark, with which I am more familiar. So it is look but don’t eat!
The autumn hues are a combination of red, orange, yellow, russet and green. The most startling red and orange hues are from the maple trees – mostly sugar maple, I think, which also gift us with tasty maple syrup in the spring. Is it any wonder that the Canadians have chosen to have a maple leaf in their flag?
I am pleased to have been chosen as the babysitter of Ziggy, my friends’ cat, while they are away for a few days. Ziggy and I chill out together, enjoying the sunsets.
Naturally, I also enjoy visiting my friends at their beautiful place while they are at home. My visits include swimming in the lake, which is much deeper and larger than Tupper Lake. It is quite brisk to be swimming in the fall!
