as in the past couple years, october also brings the apple harvest. not that we have a big orchard, we are city folks, though i would love to be a bit more a farmer...
we have those four apple trees and one pear tree, every year a different tree has a the big load of apples, this year it was the pear tree. and we scheduled well, yesterday was a gorgeous day to go out there into the field and shake those trees down. amos and naomi climbed up and we others picked the fruit from the ground.
even better, my parents came to help, this is such a good adventure, doing the work together and as some of the crowed needed to be pushed and pulled to come along, at the end, everyone was happy and naomi loved to go along to bring the seven crates to the press.
the coming monday is the "fetching the cider" day, i'm looking forward to it. we do expect about 120 liters. such a good sun loaded drink in the dark days of winter will be brightening up my days!
