we drove up to greenwich, connecticut today with morgana's modern dance teacher, ellen (chanda was still at her friend's house). we visited the greenwich audubon sanctuary. ellen used to come here often with her boyfriend before he passed away. morgana and i are familiar with the sanctuary from august of 2010, when we picked her up after a visit to aunt kathy's for two weeks in the summertime . . actually, we visited the fairfield audubon that year. i have a post about it here. (i was wondering why the greenwich audubon didn't look familiar!!! ohhh . . that's just too funny . . all the time we were walking along the trail i was wondering why i couldn't recognize anything!)
as we were leaving a big gust of wind came and blew all the leaves off these trees . . it was snowing leaves and i stopped to watch them float down . . it felt so peaceful).
we also saw a comb tooth mushroom on the way out. morgana found it in our mushroom book when we returned home. the book writes that these mushrooms are good to eat when young.
ellen has a walking stand that we found along the path which is needed for one of her student's dances (for the performance coming up december 8th and 9th at new york live arts, dances by very young choreographers).
we sat at a picnic table and ate our peanut butter and jelly and egg salad and hard boiled egg sandwiches before getting in the car and driving home. we also ate apples from the audubon apple tree in the parking lot. they were very crisp and juicy.
