Apple Butter Time!!!

Hello folks,
Welcome once again to the Pollock
Family Blog!!!
Where you never know what we might
be doing!!!


Well, this time the girls and the littles are
making apple butter!!!
Yum Yum!!! The Graves got us some apples, and seeing it would take us a long time to eat all those apples, why not make some apple butter!! So we did.


80 pounds of Delicious Rome Apples


The Ingredients



LOTS of peeling !!




The Apple Butter "INSTRUCTOR"

The Chopper





The goal is to peel the whole apple without the peel breaking. She did it!!

Cooking the Apples



Adding a little spice makes it just right

The Garden

To the Sykes, Graves, Dischers, Stricklens, Millers, Frodges, Doolins, Stokes, Pollock children, we just want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for sooo much hard work!! Every one of you young people are incredible!! Parents, you should be VERY proud of your children. They are MIGHTY arrows for our LORD and diligently worked so hard for MANY LONG hours and NEVER once complained. Thank you to all of you. When we got the gentle rain after all the work was done, we felt like GOD saying, "I will bless your efforts"
We love you and are sooooo proud of you!!
WHAT A HERITAGE

Mr. & Mrs. Pollock


First things First. The fence must be put up so that the cows will not destroy the garden before it is harvested.






Working on the fence.



Ben is just fed up with Gabriel and starts swinging the post at him...Gabriel quickly grabs a post to defend himself. (not really, but it sounded good)



THIS is why we need a fence
