| A chalet along my path - one that I'd love to own! |
We are enjoying (and I do mean ENJOYING enjoying) the
most glorious of Indian Summers. For the past couple of weeks, we have finally
had days of endless sun and warm temperatures; in fact it’s the summer that we
never had.
Also personally enjoyed having both boys at home (I
know, I know, some of you will dispute my enjoyment of that and you’d be right
as well) as the older son was here on vacation and the younger here more
permanently (that is until he decides where he wants to be next). However, we did have some lovely meals and
talks together as a family: something that doesn’t happen often as we seem to
cross paths more than we join them.
Another good thing: I have been able to grab some time
in the mountains again. Although we are definitely entering fall, walking in
tree-shaded forests and along mountain paths in the sun, never tires as a
pleasure.
But there is the bad: I lost my sunglasses! Finally
and irretrievably this time I think. I had to take them off when I went into
the shade of the forest and usually put them on my head, but whilst walking
they tend to get steamy so I put them inserting one temple into my shirt. At
some point whilst taking pictures of the remaining mushrooms the green of the
undergrowth and anything else that caught my eye, they must have fallen. I only
realized this when I was headed towards the sunny part of the path and wanted
them again. I the great finder, even retracing my steps was not able to find my
brown-framed, brown-lensed sunglasses amongst the brown leaves on the brown
dirt paths.
Now this is the same pair that I lost here several
years ago – but that someone else had found and conveniently left on a bench.
This time though the woods are mostly people-free and I don’t think that the
remaining small animals are going to come to my rescue.
The Indifferent: there is none at the moment, it just
made for a better title!
OK maybe the photos below of this morning’s walk.
