la randonnee a Rougemont

Two weeks ago Amy, Nuno and I took a hike from Rougemont up the mountains north of home. I realized that what look like gently rolling pastures are actually quite steep! We ascended part of the way through a sunken path in a spruce forest, and arrived finally at an open pasture with a view to the mountains to the west. We saw some beautiful wildflowers like bird's foot trefoil and silver thistle.

Unfortunately, the trusty yellow path signs were not so helpful this time, and we lost our way a few times-- on the way down, we navigated past some friendly cows and over some not-so-friendly barbed wire fences.

Amy brought a special present: banana nut muffins, from Mom + Sonia's muffin 'zine!
