Last Day of Summer Drenched in Cider, Part One

To celebrate the end of summer and my fantastic husband's birthday we brought home 5 bushel boxes of apples from our favourite local orchard, Berry Patch. 3 of the boxes were supposed to be for cider, but we only got through two of them. I decided that I wanted to keep back one box of macs for pie. This week has been declared mini pie week. We also brought home windfall for the pigs to eat.

So, to start......

These apples are like CANDY, Mama!
There are more pictures to come, but many were taken by other friends and I have to get permission to post them first. There is even a picture, gasp, of Chad and I together!

  2. Wish I could have been there. Fall is calling, but L.A. is not delivering.

  3. This looks like all of you had so very much fun. There's nothing better than fresh pressed cider. Cheers, Prost, Salud, etc.
