Mrs. Doubtfire's in Vienna

This morning I woke up to a strange surprise.  I opened my window to check the weather before a nice morning run in the Augarten and my window looks strangely dirty.

Maybe I just hadn't noticed it before, so I decided to investigate.  I open the window, look down and there's the proof I need.  Sometime last night there was a run-by fruiting!

Orange bits were scattered all over the windowsill and sidewalk below as if shrapnel from a mortar round.  Upon closer inspection, it's definitely orange pulp coating the outside of my window.  I'm not entirely sure what made my window the lucky recipient of a daily dose of Vitamin C, but I'll have to keep my eyes open for more fruitings.  I'm just glad it's not watermelon season here!

  1. Maybe it was a late Halloween celebration. They didn't have any pumpkins to smash so they settled for oranges!
