A summery autumn

We’re enjoying an incredibly hot autumn, and we were surprised that our friends Katie and Waffles already told us about snow while we still collect tomatoes in the garden !

It’s more than 20 C (68 F) during the day. Claire and Momo make every weekend magnificent strolls.


The temperatures are nevertheless very cool in the morning : it’s between 3 and 8 C (37-45 F).

It’s autumn !

It’s apple season !


Summer is coming to its end, but the weather remains magnificent : our humans had an nice walk by the lake via the magnificently flowered waterfronts of Montreux and the impressive castle of Chillon.



The harvest season is not ended, and our apple tree sometimes gives us funny apples, like this one :

I remain carefully remote, because they don’t stop falling !

How is the weather at your place ? Do you already feel that autumn is coming ?

Autumn works


It’s autumn here, and we need to prepare the garden for winter : cut raspberry bushes, clean the kitchen garden, harvest apples, collect dead leaves, tidy up the oustside equipment, … Claire takes advantage of her holidays to do it, with our help of course.






We introduced a colored visitor in the house : an elegant goldfinch (carduelis carduelis). We would have enjoyed his company longer, but Claire did not want. She delicately caught the bird on the curtain of the kitchen (he was a little breathless to have played with us) and put him on the outside edge of the window so that he can rest before flying away towards other adventures.
