Autumn

Autumn is a marvelous season, also in the mountains. Together with the kids we passed two truly relaxing days, walking in the woods and gathering wild berries.
We returned home tired, with our hand and clothes covered with red and blue marks but with buckets full of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and ribes. Now the great job of conserving all these precious gifts nature has given us for the winter awaits us. We are already working on making jam and jelly, jars of syrup and packages for freezing. For Lauren these serve to cook delicious fruit tarts, which have become famous among our friends. Unfortunately we haven’t found mushrooms. There was little rain this year and you can’t find any, we must have patience. However, the woods have been very generous.
