happy halloween

I had a beautiful walk to Saint-Jean-de-Goneville to lend a hand with the Trunk-or-Treat event (although I was sans-trunk). Can't get enough of the turning colors.

Super Mario Benelli Bros:

I was a garden gnome, although maybe a dwarf works better beside Snow White. There were some awesomely decorated trunks, scary costumes, excited kiddos, and even fireworks! Happy Halloween. 

avenches

Today I tagged along on a trip to visit the ruins of Avenches, the ancient capital of Roman Helvetia (1st century B.C. to 5th century A.D.) Jude unearthed a not-so-ancient artifact from the amphitheater- a hubcap to carry around. 

In town:

Before our trip, I had a beautiful walk through the vineyards this morning on my way to Thoiry.
