Travelog for: Kalea

Dear mum,
today we went to see SODO KRAITĖ in Vilnius Old Town. It's an event for those who have their own garden and they can find plants, trees, flower seeds here.



We could also eat apples, other vegetables!



This fair showed a lot of nice art works from goodies that autumn brings! Look at this little guy:



And heey, chickens are here, too!



It wasn't warm outside, so when we came back home, Karolina's mum made me a cosy knitted scarf for the cold season. I gave her a big kiss for that. Now I don't feel cold!



Well, that's all for now.
Kisses,
Kalea
