Apple trees beautify the yard all seasons, but at this time of the year, when the trees start to drop their fruits, apples seem to be everywhere! In the bucket at the side of the stairs, in the barrel next to the compost, in the pot at the landing of the terrace and in the bowl on the kitchen table. There is simply not enough time to preserve everything on time, and the battered fruits start to rot at the bottom of the bowl. A sweet scent of ripe apples creeps into every corner of the house. Although the same rite repeats every September, we come up with something new from the apples every year. This year the fresh smoothie has become a new seasonal delicacy in our family. The recipe is particularly simple, six to seven apples and a handful of icy blueberries are mixed in the blender. This soft, smooth, and fresh drink is late summer poetry at its best; and tastes especially good after a jog in the forest.
