The Beauty of October Days

 "The trees are in their autumn beauty. The woodland paths are dry. Under October twilight the water mirrors a still sky". W.B. Yeats
Fall at our camp
My granddog Chase
My cousin Howard Okusko. I just love this photo. 
Xavier and Bryon :-)

I can't get enough of these alpacas.
 Witch's Butter (fungi) on a log in the woods. 
 My friend Joan squeezing a handful of Sphagnum Moss (peat moss). This moss can store water, since both living and dead plants can hold large quantities of water inside their cells. Plants can hold 16 times as much water as their dry weight.  Here is what the moss looks like in red.

We fed the donkeys apples, and the baby donkey was eating leaves :-)


 October also added weight to my thighs. I have been wanting to try this sandwich at home after having it in France. Wow just wow. Barefoot Contessa's recipe. 

 If you've been with me over the years, you will recall that Halloween was one of my mom's favorite times of the year. We are ready to start enjoying Halloween again, and looking forward to a Halloween party next year at my camp in the woods :-)  It will be in September on a warm sunny day. 


Thanks for stopping by! Time to talk turkey next month.
