Cider Squeeze!

Sorry about the proliferation of photos, but I could not resist putting up a bunch from a really fun autumn day at the Phillip Foster Farm Cider Squeeze, an event at a historic farm near Portland. Wow, what a great day!
Trying out a pump
Kids building log cabins
Doing a little old-fashioned wash
Taking a look at some 3-D photos
Working a brace with Ma in the barn
Working the whetstone
Petting the pony
Look at all that cider!
Some old-time music, including a hammer-dulcimer
Good cider!
The spinning wheel
Mountain dulcimers
One of the impressive craftspeople--potters, blacksmiths, seamstresses, carvers, fiber artists...
Clara becomes Raven
Checking out the mail wagon--Colton is one of the towns Mama works in as a library consultant
A pony wagon ride with Lucas and Michelle--thanks, Michelle!
Clara finally gets her turn at the cider press
