Apple Picking

It's a gray, cloudy day.

D has been picking apples and putting them in bags to be transported to the cider house.

Tommy likes to help - actually, he's hoping for a backrub and perhaps a game of ball - look at all those "balls" on the ground!

The tractor makes transporting all those bags a bit easier.

Look at all the apples still to be picked.

He figures there are 17 bushels in these bags.  That's a lot of apples!  And picking has only just begun.

We should get two to three gallons of cider from each bushel.
