@ PnF Meeting House
Mette and Ellie are excited to find out what is in store for them in the Autumn Experience! As they enter, they each receive a free map! It reads:
Autumn in Red
Fall foliage in striking hues of red and orange will be seen all around on this tour along the riverbank. Your pet can collect pine cones, sample wild berries and currants, view beautiful plants in purple and red, and perhaps spot some exotic birdlife! Everypet will enjoy lingering on the bridge to view the peaceful scene as the sun goes down turning the river pink as it does so ...
PnF Meeting House
Before we begin the journey we need to check-in here to pick up a trail map and some travel snacks. Be sure to sign the register with how many are in your travel party and how long you plan to be on the trail. Don't forget to take a potty break before you head out!

“What an amazing view!” exclaimed Mette after shaking paws with Firefly, who agreed with them. Mette was excited to meet up again with Firefly. They both took a moment to admire the amazing scene around them.
Autumn Stillness
As we behold the beauty of the golden leaves in the nearby trees, some clouds have rolled in, obscuring the sun for a bit. Some small fish in the river below are dining on insects that skim along the surface, creating little ripples on the calm water.

@ Ginger Root
Inspired by the sunny day, Waddles said, “Wouldn't it be fun to work on the harvest?”
Mette took a more pragmatic view. “You’d have to be up before dawn every day and work for 12 hours practically non-stop!”
Waddles hastily revised her romantic harvest vision.
Ginger Root
Ginger root is a well-known natural remedy for some common ailments. If you are prone to stomach upset and indigestion, nibbling on a small piece of raw ginger or drinking ginger tea can help alleviate your symptoms. But it is most useful on the journey as it helps your body to recover from muscle soreness after over-exertion. It will definitely come in handy today!

@ Nectar Delight
“These make a fine display, don’t they, Mette?” said ScaryHairy, when he and Mette had shaken paws.
Nectar Delight
Be still and maybe it won't see you. Look over there on that red flower. It's a Micronesian Myzomela, and I almost didn't see it as it is somewhat camouflaged by the wispy red flowers it is sipping nectar from.

Basket of Pine Cones
According to the note attached to the basket, each of us is supposed to take a pine cone and plant the seeds in the designated area ahead. A park ranger will give us instructions when we get there. A pine forest covered in fresh snowfall is one of the most beautiful sights to see in winter. I'm happy to help add to that beauty!

Dramatic sunlit maple branch is a magnificent sight to behold and stands in stark contrast to the soft grayscale backdrop.

Episode 15/25

@ Autumn Rose Bouquet
"I think I'll take a cutting of the plant in that tub over there," said Mette. The label says it's 'vigorous' and 'fearless'."
Sarah sniffed. "That's gardeners' talk for 'an invasive species that will take over your entire garden if permitted'!"
Autumn Rose Bouquet
The unmistakable fragrance of roses captures my attention as I leave the wooded area. I look down to see a beautiful arrangement of autumn-hued roses in a white ceramic pot.

@ Shiny Redcurrant Berries
Mette and Saphira shook paws before sitting down to enjoy an autumnal harvest snack. “There’s nothing like farm-fresh food, is there, Mette?” said Saphira.
Shiny Redcurrant Berries
Wild redcurrants can be found all over the countryside. They look temptingly sweet to eat, but these shiny red berries are usually made into redcurrant jelly because of their tartness.

Episode 20/25

@ Red and Purple Leafy Vine
"Honey, was that last one we looked at a thorn bush with roses? Or a rose bush with thorns?" asked Mette.

@ Teasels and Carnations
"I wish I knew more about horticulture, Cindy" said Mette. "Sometimes I can't tell if something's a plant or a weed!"
"Oh, there's a sure-fire way of telling the difference, Mette! Pull on it—if it comes out of the ground easily, it's a really valuable plant.”
Teasels and Carnations
Teasel weeds are a very common roadside plant. They look beautiful for being a weed, don't they? They are a favorite among crafters as they can be dried and painted any color. These lovely bi-color pink carnations pair perfectly with the purple painted teasels.
