Flower season has been opened on the terrace.

 

Burgers

 

 

We have finetuned the best burgers in the area, which even make Uulits ones pale in comparison. From the moment the patties on the grill are no longer getting frostbitten, burgers become a constant star of our weekend lunches.

Go Blue. Colors

 

One of the things I miss in Estonian autumn is the colours. Actually, to be honest, this is one of the many things I miss. More sun and much more daylight to name a few.

So when we traveled to the US in October, my expectations to experience the fall colours were obviously high and I could already see myself enjoying all those beautiful yellow, orange and red views. In reality, however, we got a green extension of the summer, that only during the last week there began to throw in some colours.

Go Blue. Ann Arbor

 

 

We also managed to go to Ann Arbor a couple of times. We did some shopping and visited Rebecca. We walked around in the city. We also went to see our former home and walked on our running paths in the woods. Since no new ones had emerged, we went to see one of David Zinn's earlier chalk drawings that’s preserved as permanent now. We found some new street art and admired their great bike lane solution.
