On October 11th felt like a warm 🌞 summer day in the evening, even the light breeze is warm.
It's too bad to be indoors, so air out your feet.
The lake can be seen very calmly in the picture.
Last picture at 6:20 p.m.
It's getting slow...🍂

Like every first Sunday of the month, we met our Briard friends for a walk today. Due to the bad weather forecast it was a small group and we pretty much had the lake to ourselves.
