First, the amazing harvest display at church from a few weeks ago. An impressive visual reminder of one thing we should be thankful for this season. (See more photos in my Instagram feed at right to understand the full scale of the display.)
And along that harvest theme, I invited two coworkers over one Sunday to make apple butter and caramel pear butter. This is only part of the process which left us with approximately 20 liters of deliciousness. I don't even know how we will be begin to eat our share.
Finally, last Sabbath after church we headed out to Jucker Farm, just 45 minutes NE of Zürich, for an apple farm afternoon. We drank fresh cider, wandered apple mazes, wished for some crazy goats and rabbits of our own, and were amazed at the sheer variety that is the world of squash and pumpkins. And yes, that frog prince is covered in pumpkins and the award winning pumpkin was more than 500 kg (approx 1100 lb).
I hope your fall is also full of pumpkins, apples, and thankfulness as well.
