We went apple picking today after soccer. It was a beautiful sunny, cold day, perfect for picking apples. We picked 47 pounds of apples, for only $.30/lb. I want to can applesauce and apple slices, so I got 2 dozen canning jars on
Craigslist too. We'll see how that goes, I'm not exactly Suzy Homemaker :)
C wasn't the greatest help, so I put him in charge of keeping the bags from tipping in the wagon. But he did love the cider pressing. We got a bottle straight off the press and a few glasses too. He thought it was pretty cool to drink the "freshest juice in the whole world". And I found out how easy it is to pasteurize it myself at home.
He's got a bit of a cold, which explains the general crankiness. Luckily the 3 hour nap magically made my house clean, so attitudes were improved all around by evening.
