Well, we are now the possessors of over two hundred pounds of apples (picked by us) that were cheap (35 cents a pound). We also brought back a box of grapes that, after washing, juicing, straining, and straining, became about a gallon of grape juice. They are white grapes, so the juice is a beautiful apple cider colour. :-X We bought a couple cans of frozen purple grape juice to mix with it so the colour will be more appealing.

The husband is frying potatoes. Tomorrow we will attempt to can the grape juice. Following that, we have over two hundred pounds of apples to make into sauce and other stories.

At the place we picked them we were paying for them and another lady, her three children, and her mother came to pick apples and the children were hanging out the window of the car gazing in shock and disbelief at our large apple collection. "Are those ALL YOURS?" They were really cute.

Now, though, I'm feeilng really exhausted.
