Fall is such a fantastic time of year!  One of my favorite things to do this time of year is to get apples and make apple cider (we also like to eat the apples, dry them and turn them into applesauce).  It’s no Nebraska City apple extravaganza, but it’s our way of celebrating fall and the apple harvest.

Sept. 4th was our first day of school.  Lily started 1st grade and Sylvia started 3rd grade.  We went for a walk, sang songs, did some math and form drawing, and cleaned wool for future projects.

Some of us worked harder than others…

Washing wool.

Catfish came to school with Lily.

I worked in the garden while the girls washed wool. I think we’ll be eating bean for the next two weeks.
