On October 24th James didn't have school and neither did North Franklin so it was designated as the apple juicing day. We kept the kids home from school for the tradition (except for Bryant who felt like he couldn't afford to miss school). Even though there were a lot of helping hands we worked until from 9am until about 4:45---the longest ever. Over 540 gallons of delicious juice.

I really wish I had a picture of Talmage. He worked hard doing juice and then he helped James and I glean grapes in a drizzle. We were done with that by about 6:30. Then he chose to go and get a last load of pumpkins at Perkes' when it was dark and raining harder. I was so proud of him. It was a long day!
Filled every jar in the house.
108 quarts of grape juice.
Last of the tomato crop.
