I was in the country over the weekend and celebrated my birthday
early over there. My lovely friend, Frank who is a great artist + teacher
living in the country, invited me to his house in upstate which it took
me about 2 hours from the city. We went hiking and spent whole
Saturday afternoon in the mountain. I saw some chipmunks which
were super cute! The colors of leaves, mosses and fungus were
just gorgeous and inspiring me a lot!
After our hiking, we went his friend's house for birthday dinner
in the evening. His friend and my birthday are almost on the same day.
So, we celebrated our birthday together. I really enjoyed the delicious
dinner with great people. Frogs were singing in the pond and
I saw some deers running in the backyard. What a beautiful place!

When I was a child, we went often in the mountains with my parents. We had a special spot where we spent the whole day. There was a river in which I played for hours, and lots of wild raspberries, wild strawberries, blueberries to pick up in the bushes for snacks.
The best moment of the day was when my father made a little fire and toasted some "baguette" slices. 30 years after I can yet remember the smell of it.
At dusk, it was time to get back home.
Oh gosh I'm such a chatterbox!
