While the *guys* were getting the presser-thingy-ma-jig all together and ready...my SIL's mama, Madelyn and I all worked at getting the labels on the new jugs! (My sweet nephew Isaiah helped too! ;)
Jaxson...showing you his new haircut...handsome lil guy he is! ;)
And the pressing begins...


While the men pressed the juice...us gals bottled all the juice! We filled many gallon jugs and half-gallon jugs...hours and hours of work! (I know my children and I were down there for 6 hours to help...others, like Chris and his mama were there even longer!)

And at the bottom of the photo, there are all the peels and such. This trailer kept getting filled up and they would have to go empty it to put *more* peels in there!


My sweet nephew...growing so quickly. I just love this little guy!!!


And as I see the clock is quickly approaching 10pm (way past my bedtime)...I know I need to quickly wrap it up and head to bed. I have prayers to continue lifting up (if you could pray too...lift it up as an unspoken that I have...I would really appreciate it. God knows what it is for).
While out today, the children were picking apples with the older couple who are our neighbors....and they were very excited to find a bird's nest! :) Although it's a fun find, it quickly found it's way back outside and I hurried my kids in to wash their hands. You never know what can be lurking inside those delicately woven pieces of grass, hay, string and dirt! (For some reason the picture came out so blurry. Some days they are great...others they turn out blurry...I will get it figured out...eventually!)

Warmly,
Katy

ReplyDeletewhat do they do with all of those peels? send them over for the horses?

It is that time of year "already" isn't it. I love the apple picking, and have always wanted a press for cider, however, they are so costly. I (almost) felt I was there with you during the cider process... Thank you for sharing all the photo's.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessed family,

ReplyDeleteYUM that cider looks good! My hubby built himself an apple press several years ago because we have alot of old apple trees, but this year we had a late freeze so we don't have many at all. Have fun at the festival, sounds like FUN:D
