Juliette, I love how long fall lasts around here. All the leaves are green in Berlin, though I’m sure we’re not far behind you. I am most looking forward to strolling through the streets – maybe on the way to German class! Any plans for you?

welcome back! sounds like you’re already getting in the groove of things! Any big fall plans? I’m sitting here in jeans and a wool cardigan already and we just swept the first fallen leaves off the balcony yesterday! =)

I’m with Sherry! Diana, your catch sounds amazing. My mouth is watering at the thought of all those Colorado peaches.

I’m devouring all of your lovely comments. Thank you all once again for the well wishes. I know it seems drastic to be feeling so comfortable here again. I’m just so thankful the transition can be as quick as it is. Maybe the key is to embrace what you have ahead instead of holding onto what’s behind.

Time for bed here!

I dearly wish we celebrated Sundays in the US the way they do in Germany! I had the good fortune to visit Germany twice in the early 90′s, and after the initial shock of not being able to shop for food on Sundays, fell in love with the beautiful, easy, pace of Sunday life. And I so loved the church bells. Even if one isn’t religious, having one day a week that almost everyone gets to relax and enjoy without any of the hustle and bustle is heaven!…..Enjoyed reading about your summer in Colorado (Diana, your bountiful harvest goods are envied indeed), and now look forward to reading about your new adventures in Berlin!

Glad you made it home safe and sound. You left CO just in the nick of time, highs in the 50Fs today and snow in the mountains tonight! I can’t believe my husband and I were swimming and picnicking at the Poudre River Thurs night.

I ran upstairs to weigh the bag of organic apples I got at the farmers market this AM- almost 5 pounds for $4 and a 20 pound box of organic peaches (seconds) for $20. Plus roasted green chilies, tamales, local cheese, strawberries and giant brandywines for tomato sandwiches were some of the local bounty we’ll be enjoying this week.
