Milkbarn Conversations: Hey, Let's Make some Cider!?

Apple tree bonanza has happened at the Milkbarn We have some out of control crab apple trees growing on our property and one golden delicious tree twisting up through the crab apple (you can see the trunk below!).  Clay and Lucy were in charge of our family home evening treat so they thought we should make cider. We can't really pick the apples, so leave it to Clay to have a method. Paint tarp, check. Four Collins kids to hold corners, check. Shake shake shake Can you see him on the roof? Through the branches? This is when I'm like...aren't these apples going to pummel us on the way down? Part of the load...all golden delicious Sorting.  I heard a lot of "there's an earwig!! there's an earwig!!" None of us really like bugs. It must be hereditary. By the way, we were pummeled by apples.  Photo op.  Try and look natural, okay? Goobers. I love it when he rakes and forgets what he is do
