So we went down to the Farm to pick apples and make juice. Usually that is a multi-day effort (well, they had been picking for a few days before), but this time, because of the hard frost which froze all the twigs and leaves, the apples were dropping (like apples!), and Kendrick got up in the trees and shook the fruit down onto tarps and it was much speedier than picking them all off the branches by hand. And then we made juice that same afternoon. We weren't there for the whole effort, but we got 20 gallons and John was able to pack it all into the freezer except for one batch to bottle and a gallon to drink straight.
