Today was a perfect fall day at the sanctuary. It was chilly, but still warm enough, the leaves have started to change, and the air smells crisp outside. Fall is a favorite for us here at CSNW, especially because Jamie-ween is just around the corner. So let the count down begin! Today, to celebrate the first day of October the chimps enjoyed a pumpkin seed and dried apple forage with some nice warm tea. Later for dinner there was a special homemade treat, applesauce (or better known as mashed up apples). Our day was spent walking around Young’s Hill, grooming, napping, and savoring the last bit of the garden.

It sounds like a perfectly wonderful day! I especially love the photo of Jody peeking out at the garden. I bet she’d love to forage in your garden, especially with those gigantic sunflowers! I can imagine her dragging one into the chimp house with a satisfied twinkle in her eyes! Very sweet photos today, thanks so much!
These are all beautiful photographs. In particular, the picture of Jamie looks like the visual which accompanied her on-line advice column, “Ask Jamie.” From the look on her face, she seems like she is about to provide some wise if curt one-word advice. One would be best-advised to take it!
