We look forward to this time of year because of the bounty of the garden and the bounty of the woods. While I was making applesauce from my favorite apples today my husband Bob took a walk in what we call "Our Chanterelle Woods." He's been going down to the woods every other day to see if these succulent and tasty mushrooms are showing yet. Up until now he's not found many (it takes a good rain to really bring them out), but today was different. He found bunches of them growing here and there, and brought home the nice bounty you see in the picture. There are way too many to eat at one sitting, so we lightly saute them in a small amount of butter, and then pack them in freezer bags. During late Fall and Winter, we pull a bag out and enjoy them with our meal.
The lovely weather we've been experiencing is something we expect in our area this time of year. We spend as much time as we can up at the cabin knowing full well by November the days are shorter and Fall projects at home are part of our routine. We don't go up to the cabin for any over night forays until the snow flies in December or January. It is very nice to have a place to stay close to the mountain after an exhilarating day on the slopes.
