This weekend we took it easy & didn't go very far from home.
But there were some lovely things to see just down the street.
There was a local apple/pear/honey festival
we checked out on Saturday afternoon.
|
there were great prices on apples & pears grown in orchards just outside Annecy |
|
& lots of yummy local juice too |
|
as you can see, some pumpkins & squash snuck into the festival |
|
& a local jam-maker too | | |
|
|
|
Sunday morning it was foggy,
so the mountains we can usually admire from our balcony
were mostly hidden.
However, that didn't stop me from admiring
the colour of all the local trees.
|
view of the neighbours' pretty fall colours from notre balcon |
FQ made a huge batch of delicious pumpkin soup
& also gingerbread cake for dessert.
|
I love soup almost as much as I love autumn |
After lunch, we went down to le lac for a wander in the fresh air.
|
oooh, pretty |
|
J'adore voir les feuilles dans le lac... |
|
more pretty fall trees outside of Annecy's fancy lake-front hotel/casino |
But really... let's be honest, ok?
Local fruit festival? Fun.
Husband who makes soup & cake? Nice.
Lake & lovely leaves just down the street? Pretty.
But the best thing about this past weekend?
My new iPhone started working!!!
Whee!!!!!!!
|
Canuck case? I love it more than autumn & ALMOST as much as the iPhone! |
