Autumn in Purple
A country ramble awaits the pets and after exploring woodland paths, a small settlement will be found. At the spice store they will find cinnamon, chillies, star anise and chestnuts, plus purple flowers for perfumery. They will skirt a small lake before seeing a host of pink and purple-hued flowers and plants. Don't forget to grab an apple or two to munch as you head out onto the next stage of our tour!

“I hope we can buy more of this at our local farmer's market,” observed Avalon, as she and Brian tucked into a delicious food sample!

Just as your tummy begins to rumble you spot these deeply colored wild blueberries in the brush beside the trail. The color is much deeper than the berries you have seen at the market and your mouth begins to water. Perfect timing and oh-so-refreshing!

@ Fresh Chestnuts
Inspired by the sunny day, Lami said, “Wouldn't it be fun to work on the harvest?”

Lami hastily revised his romantic harvest vision.
Fresh Chestnuts
As soon as my eyes catch the sight of these baskets of freshly harvested chestnuts, washed and ready to purchase, a familiar song gets stuck in my head. Is it too early to sing Christmas carols?

Log Cabin in the Woods
Ahhh, here it is, our lodging for tonight. We came upon this log cabin just in time as I need to stop and rest awhile. This cozy cabin in the woods looks so warm and inviting. We should get a good night's sleep in this peaceful spot! I do hope they have a porch swing to relax on!

@ Purple Rose Bouquet
"I think I'll take a cutting of the plant in that tub over there," said Avalon. The label says it's 'vigorous' and 'fearless'."
poddu laddoo sniffed. "That's gardeners' talk for 'an invasive species that will take over your entire garden if permitted'!"

Episode 19/25

@ Candle and Purple Flower
"How on earth do you identify what this is from the thousands of things it could be?" asked Shelby.
"Well," said Avalon, "you go through a checklist. Like what sort of leaves does it have, how are they arranged on the stem, do they have stalks, what's its habitat; that kind of thing. I'll lend you a book when we get home."
Candle and Purple Flower
Once you pass this point in your journey please light the candle and sign the guest book located in the weatherproof booth. Tell us where you are from; then extinguish the candle for safety.

@ Pink Poinsettia Flowers
"I wish I knew more about horticulture, gemma" said Avalon. "Sometimes I can't tell if something's a plant or a weed!"
"Oh, there's a sure-fire way of telling the difference, Avalon! Pull on it—if it comes out of the ground easily, it's a really valuable plant.”
Pink Poinsettia Flowers
Pale pink and dark purple leaves make this a quite dramatic poinsettia plant! And no, it's not too early to think about poinsettias because if we want them to look like this they need to be placed into a dark room several months before Christmas so that the leaves change colors.
