Autumn In New England

This is why I love living in New England! Honestly, I understand why we get so many leaf peepers. The foliage this year is perfect. That is a picture from Hogback Mountain. The view is much better for real. You can blame the bad picture on my poor picture taking skills! There are so many colors this year. Driving down the road is a treat when you get to see the changing leaves everywhere.

On our way to Hogback Mountain we came across a group of people pressing apples for apple cider. I am so glad I had my camera at the time. I took pictures and watched them making the apple cider from start to finish right in front of me. I made a slide show of it, but I couldn't upload it on blogger because it was not made with the right program. I will have to just post the pictures instead.


Start with apples... Put them in the big chopper... Wrap the crushed apples in a cloth to filter...


The cider comes out down here when you press them... That gets put into a big container through another filter... And Finally into a jug to take home!

It is the best apple cider I have ever tasted. I'm happy we stopped so I could see this.
