These are a little late...

...but here are a few pics of us at the Franklin Cider Mill a few weeks back, and a little fall yard clean-up.

I think the thing I hated most as a kid was using the metal rakes to rake leaves out of the rocks that surrounded our house. Claire is unlike me, insisting on helping, even when Daniel said, "You're a kid -- go play!"

(However, in all fairness, I was much older than Claire when assigned this task and probably only had to do it...three times ever. Clearly, I'm still scarred!)
