Yesterday we decided we better get the apples made into cider. Nate and Rachel brought up some boxes of their granny smith apples to mix with our red and yellow delicious and whatever else variety of apples we have. We found that the best tasting cider is a mix of several types of apples. With Mary, Isaac, Nate, Rachel, Kace, and Tydon's help we were finished in no time and had lots of cider jugs filled. Tydon and Kace were quite the helpers throwing the apples in the grinder and helping grandpa pick them off of the trees. Tydon's most favorite part though was riding on the 4 wheeler.
In the bottom picture you can see the same tree that we were standing under yesterday, it has lost a few of it's branches. It is going to take me awhile to clean up the mess the wind made in our yard.
I was happy to get the tomatoes made into chili and spaghetti sauce. The peaches in the bottles and the apples in the jugs. There was an early frost this year and my beautiful flowers are gone, the tomatoes are frozen and any fruit that was left on the trees is surely blown up the canyon. I guess I have to realize that summer is really gone. I loved the summer but it just went a little too fast. Thanks everyone for helping with the cider, it is very yummy. I am going to try and put all of the wonderful talks that I have heard in the last 2 days to better myself in the next 6 months. Don't you just love the spiritual uplift you get after listening to our prophets speak. It was a great day and I am glad that we were prepared.

Looks like you all had fun! I certainly loved the cider you made at my mom's a few years back. I also remember how fun it was. Glad you were able to listen to conference. I love it when trials come and we are prepared for them!!!
