apples which were made into applesauce
Rosehips which were made into rosehip syrup, full of vitamin C. Yesterday Michelle and Keenan and I hiked up bald hill. The fall colors were amazing. We gathered wild apples for applesauce, rosehips and hawthorn berries for medicinal syrups on the way. It seemed as if our rainy weather was great for the wild foods if not for our gardens. I have never seen rosehips quite as bright and bursting as these. The Hawthorn trees were so full of berries that you could pull them off in giant clusters! It has also been an amazing mushroom year. Michelle made the food and syrups from them.

Sounds like a great fall day! We explored Waitsfield and Warren a bit. Then drove over Middlebury Gap (what a mess from the flooding!) and had dinner on the way home in Vergennes. See you Tuesday!
