Celebrating Fall with Neighbors

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..." thankfully Jack Frost isn't nipping at our nose yet! Every fall through winter here you can find men selling roasted chestnuts over an open fire, it's a nice, sort of "cozy" tradition.

This past Sunday we had a "Chestnut Picnic" with our neighbors...a sort of "block party!" It was another beautiful day and so fun to get to know our neighbors a bit more. We still hadn't met some of them, it was a nice way to do so!

I also want to post a picture from last Sunday. There were some horse races here in Sencur, actually directly behind the house where we used to live. I took Abigail over there after lunch just for her to see the horses, but we ended up seeing an interesting race! There was an obstacle course set up and horse draw carriages were being timed as they made their way around it. It was so interesting and fun to watch! After that was another race of individuals riding horses through an obstacle course, after that a barrel race. It was a hot time in the old town that night!
