It seems appropriate that Thanksgiving coincides with the bountiful harvest time. Farmers' markets remain open and local apple orchards are inviting people to come and pick their own fruit on these beautiful, blue-skied, autumn days.
I was one of those picking apples this weekend and now need a plan for how to use a half bushel bag of them; the signs in the collage show only some of the varieties grown at this particular orchard.
Apple sauce, apples roasted with root vegetables, apple slices for the freezer . . .
If you have a suggestion, please share.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, whether or not it is being celebrated in your country.
Thank you for your visits, comments, "follows", and "likes" on Facebook. I appreciate them.
In Canada, it's the Thanksgiving long weekend, which happily coincides with so much of our harvest time. An uncharacteristically warm, autumn day was lovely for picking apples at a local orchard.
I don't have my parents any longer, my dad having passed away six years ago and my mom this past spring, but I was happy to be able to spend time with friends and family this weekend. Apple torte was my contribution to the turkey dinner with my brother, sister-in-law and ten others.
Another dinner, this one with friends, provided a good excuse to bake lemon meringue pies.
After two days of large dinners and plenty of desserts, all I crave this afternoon is a cup of mint tea, possibly with an apple, but possibly not even that!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, even if it is not being celebrated in your country!
I love your visits and am thankful for your comments.
This week, I'm linking with the following beautiful blogs:
