GARDNERS DIAMOND-T FARM and ORCHARDS

 
It's apple time and it just brings back so many memories of the farm I grew up on.  My dad was an orchardman extraordinaire and we raised a lot of apples.  I cannot tell you how many ba-zillon trips I made up and down the ladder with a full picking sack hanging on my front.  We graded, sized, polished, boxed and sold them by the truckloads.  My dad also had a 40-gallon cider press and made the best . . . oh my . . .the BEST cider!  Boy, would that taste just divine right now!  What memories! What a heritage!
