Yesterday, two days after Thanksgiving, we first walked the dogs to the lake. After lunch, Vlada and I went for a walk in the snow. We started along the path along the house, had to cross a few streams in the woods behind the house and continued on a loop trail, following tracks left in the snow by people (hunters probably). We ended up on Lake Road and walked back home.

We then borrowed Katarina's car and went for a drive to Whitings Farm on Summer Road, where we strolled in the heated greenhouses admiring the beautiful poinsettias. We drove on to Wallmart where we picked up a few things. We then came home to make apple strudel with the last apples from the garden. We drank eggnog, watched the sunset and had dinner of Thanksgiving dinner leftovers.

New York Botanical Garden

Vladimir and I, together with our young friend S. at the New York Botanical Garden, October 9, 2011. That day there was an exhibit on Fall Flowers of Japan and some performances of traditional Japanese singing and dancing. We also visited the haunted pumpkin garden. The red fruit which look like tomatoes in the second photo are in fact eggplants.
