Dumpy and Helmut 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 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.

Undulating Road
The light leads us to the remnants of a paved gently undulating road shrouded with trees just beginning to lose their leaves. We wonder what pets have journeyed through here in times gone by.

@ Autumn Rice Field
LoyaLloyd shook paws with Dumpy and was just enjoying the view when he was distracted by loud rustling as Dumpy unfolded a very lengthy Autumn Experience itinerary, in the course of which he succeeded in knocking LoyaLloyd’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” snapped LoyaLloyd. “I’m about to take a photo of this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up pronto!”

This journey is definitely full of surprises! One never knows what to expect as they round the bend of life and this rice field is the perfect example. Who knew rice could grow here in the cool autumn temperatures?

Wild Blueberries
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!

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!

“There’s a huge bumblebee on it!” said Buddy.

No rose is a mysterious as the purple rose and its fragrance is just as fascinating. This single rose is simply stunning when placed in a bouquet with other lavender-hued flowers.

A brief shower has just passed through and left a plethora of sparkling raindrops on a deep purple leaf. I hope you didn't get wet!

Episode 21/25

@ Purple Leaf Plant
"I think I'll take a cutting of the plant in that tub over there," said Dumpy. The label says it's 'vigorous' and 'fearless'."
Honey sniffed. "That's gardeners' talk for 'an invasive species that will take over your entire garden if permitted'!"
Purple Leaf Plant
The sun has come out and a rare warm autumn breeze has dried up the raindrops on the leaf so now you can see what the rest of the purple-leaved plant looks like.

“Isn’t this amazing, HappyCheerling?” declared Dumpy. “I’m seeing so many flowers and shrubs that I’ve never seen before!”
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.
