Pecks and Bushels of Apples

Apple tree
This week we took a break from restoring our vintage dollie because the apples were in desperate need of rescuing.  It's been a hard year for our apple trees.  Too much heat and too many bugs!  Many of the apples fell off during the summer, others were cored through by bugs, and still others rotted right on the branches!  But, all said and done, we were amazed to get quite a few pecks of perfect "eaters", at least a bushel full of "bakers", a number left behind on the tree for hopeful ripening and still many more left over for cider!  Ah, the cider....

Rainbow Dash is one gal who truly loves her cider.  To the uninitiated, Rainbow Dash is one of the My Little Ponies who lives in Ponyville.  (And just between you, me and the Grand Piano, I think it's a bit of an obsession with her) .  Her friend Apple Jack runs the local apple orchard and the whole "Apple Family", from Apple Jack to Big Mac to Granny Smith and even little Apple Bloom, are responsible for providing the town with its yearly supply of apple cider.  I'm glad she can't see the state of our apple trees this year ... but hopefully, we'll be able to "squeeze" out a small supply!  The brew last year (featured above) was truly magical!


Okay, she REALLY likes cider!
There's going to be cider??             Well, our trees kinda look like this so ....    No, don't cry!  We'll try!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
