It was foggy when we drove to our favourite Saturday walking spot. At 14C I wore a sweater but by the time we finished our walk I was warm.
Mostly pictures I took on our walk.
Fresh bear poop on the path. It looks like it had eaten Blackberries.
We often see pigeons but usually they are shades of gray. This one is obviously black and quite unafraid of us.
Common Tansy (tanecetum vulgare) which is very invasive This is what the internet has to say about it.
... introduced to North America for its historical medicinal and horticultural uses but now considered a noxious, invasive weed in many areas. It is identified by its fern-like leaves and clusters of yellow, button-like flowers. Due to its toxicity, especially for livestock and humans, and its ability to spread rapidly by seed and rhizomes, it should be controlled through repeated mowing, hand-pulling, or the use of systemic herbicides to prevent its establishment and spread.
The grass beside the path was as tall as I am.
Once we were back at home we had a cup of coffee then DH peeled some apples that needed dealing with ( it became applesauce) while I got a Pumpkin pie in the oven. Just the easy Impossible recipe.
Now I have only the vacuuming to do and then it will be lunch time.
Thanks for coming by today
So that crustless , sort of, pie did get baked. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your fog pictures.
Oh my word... you live somewhere with Fresh Bear Poop on your paths!!!!! We just dodge fox poop.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, what a cute pigeon! Apples are great in the Autumn! Apple pie, apple sauce, apple crumble...I love them all!
ReplyDeleteLike those foggy mornings. Your title works for me too :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures with fog. They are lovely. Hope that bear stays away from you hikers! A pumpkin pie sounds so good right now. Take good care Granny!!
ReplyDeleteYou accomplished many things today. The foggy morning walk is a great start to the day. Lots of good eating around your place.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great walk! Thanks for taking us along. You saw some great things. I hope the bear stays far, far away. Don't let him hide from you in that tall, tall grass.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
I imagined you older, you look much younger than I thought!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the photos from the fog, I hope the bear stays away!!
How beautiful, after a walk, to drink your coffee with your husband!!
Happy Sunday Granny Marigold!!
A nice walk, I enjoyed your photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
A perfectly lovely day. I enjoyed all of the photos except the poop one - ha! Knowing me, I would have said "well look, the bear could have sh** in the woods. Why here?" Isn't how the saying goes? (:
ReplyDeleteIt was foggy here when we left this morning and tonight in the Netherlands we are having a big storm wind blows a lot!
ReplyDeleteOh a bear was "sitting" on your way and this foggy weather - this is really a true autumn fairytale! The flower we call "Rainfarn" and I did really not know, that it is poison. . . . . We in Bavaria have this advise to reduce a plant for the "Jacobs-Greiskraut", also yellow and very nice, but very poison and dominant.
ReplyDeleteA bear is near?!!
ReplyDeleteNice walk even in the fog:) I have some Tansy around here too.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture of you!! (c)
ReplyDeleteI've seen several pics of that pigeon on the Willband Creek facebook page! Maybe it's an escaped domestic bird that is used to people. - Sheila
ReplyDeleteI used to grow Tansy, but it was so unruly, and spread like crazy. I finally managed to get rid of it, but I kinda miss it .
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you and the tall grass!
Lovely pictures (except for the poop, lol). I hope you don't have a run-in with the donor bear! I grew Tansy once and quickly saw the error of my ways as it took alot of herbicide to get rid of all of it.
