It was a nice morning for a walk in the woods today. Rupert certainly seemed to appreciate it, shuffling through the leaves that are now starting to fall from the trees. Let’s hope the weather holds for the rest of the week.

After the high winds yesterday, I wasn’t too surprised to find quite a bit of tree damage this morning. I haven’t seen any trees actually fully down, but while I was out for an early morning walk with Pippa I did see some big branches that had been snapped off. Pippa had a sniff at them, then just walked on.

It was a bit breezy in Carr Vale this morning. While walking Rupert I heard a loud thud. Then another thud, this time a lot closer. As I looked around to see what was going on I just happened to look up. And as I did so, I saw something fairly heavy fall out of the sky. Only then did I realize we were walking under an apple tree!

An increase in speed got us out of the danger zone. It has made me think though… I wonder how many people have been injured by falling apples?

It’s Tuesday so it must be time for Otis to have another walk. Here he is enjoying his afternoon out last week.
