We made some apple cider while visiting my dad in Tyringham this past weekend. Weirdly early for apples-- normally they aren't usable until a good deal later in the fall. This year, though, it seemed as though every branch was packed; there were trees bearing fruit that I had never seen with apples before.
Also a few interesting mushrooms and fungi:
These ones below are puff-balls: quite edible (and tasty to boot). We had some for dinner our first night.
Joanie made a delicious lamb recipe from the NYT. Here is a recipe link. I'm going to try making it myself (it was yummy and it doesn't look too difficult).
The peach trees were also loaded down. A lot of the trees had lost limbs because of the weight of the fruit:
It was a very nice weekend... the weather was a bit warm but quite cooperative overall. Ethan and I had a couple of good long runs, and the kids spent countless hours in the swimming pool with their cousins Ken and Janet.
