Posted - Aug 22 2008 : 7:00:08 PM We were blessed with an old cider press for a very cheap price this summer and have just picked bunches of apples from a tree on the property my husband works on. Tonight we made some cider for the first time and YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!! And it was definitely a fun time for the family. The kiddos loved the whole process (so did we!) and the chickens enjoyed the leftover pulp![](icons/icon_smile.gif) |

Posted - Aug 23 2008 : 11:28:52 AM Cider is amazing! It makes me think of crisp yellow, gold, red and orange leaves, a cool wind, the spicy smell of pumpkin pie, pumpkins and maize corn. MMM! I am really starting to "think Autumn!"
