When I arrived in France mid-September, the Franche-Comté was once again dry with the possibility water rationing lurking. However, our prayers for rain were answered, as it rained almost every day of the three weeks I was there as well as many of the days since I returned at the beginning of October. As you can imagine, we relished every bit of sunshine and every walk when it wasn’t actually raining.
We often look for new places to walk the dogs and on this day, we parked on the side of the road to follow an uphill path.

When it gets wet in the forest, mushrooms/fungi abound. This year provided a bumper crop!
