Harvest time!

I have been away Friday-Monday with my mom to the family summer place, and it's been wonderful. We actually got along very well, and have had lots of delicious food, mostly reasonable discussions instead of political quarrels, long walks in the woods picking mushrooms, and evenings in front of the fireplace.

We picked huge amounts of mushrooms, so much that they were quite heavy to carry home and we ran out of containers and had to improvise and carry some of them in a jacket. And then frying them up to boil the water out of them to prepare them for the freezer was hard work too. But it was all extremely satisfying!
