Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Back in the States, I had quite a few favorite places. One of them always was the ‘Algoma Beach Motel’ in Wisconsin. One weekend out of the year, usually the beginning of September, I drove up there to escape from everyday life. This two day ‘mental check-out’ was never long enough for me to miss my apartment and routines, but still sufficient to recharge the batteries. It became a regular getaway I ended up looking forward to all year. The lovely motel right on the beach is also special, because each one of my puppy girls spend the weekend there with me at least once, and I got the same room, too. Lots of fond memories, always 💗🐾🥰

What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

My favorite month of the year is September. The seasons are changing from summer to autumn, with more comfortable temperatures during the day and cooler nights for better sleep.
Not to mention, that it is absolutely beautiful when the leaves begin to change colors. I take in the beauty around me very consciously and appreciate it, before winter comes with mostly grey-ish, drab weather. Cooler days towards the end of September also ring in the season of fall/winter vegetables, and with it oven baked meals and hearty stews, yumm-tumm-tumm 😊.
