On the edge of Rapperswil (population 27,000) a farmer has gone whole hog to sell his wares.
It's somewhat common finding self-service vending machines near farms dispensing fresh milk. In France I've come across many boulangeries with vending machines outside their shops for after hours shoppers who need their baguette fix. But, this farmer has gone big time with his offerings. I count 66 items for sale including apricots, cherries, apples, juices, various jams and bottles of wine.
All the goodies look to be home made. But what about the wine for sale? Go to next photo.
The wine is from the farmer's hillside vineyard located just a few yards away.
A view of downtown Rapperswil. Zurich (population 400,000) anchors one end of the lake and Rapperswil anchors the other end.

A nice day for boating on the lake.
People in Zurich seem to have a thing for placing statues on their balconies.

This wooden chicken rules the roost.

The Limmat River flows through Zurich's city center. Part of it has been diverted and turned into a humongous fresh water, slowly flowing swimming pool for the locals. Many office workers grab a quick swim during lunch.
This Italian coffee shop/bakery is my "go to" place for pastries in Zurich. They have absolutely the best cannoli.
