Extraction party '09

Sunday was the annual Rathkey/Goodfellow extraction party... where we extract cider from apples and honey from combs. It was a great time with good friends, good food and good fun! Some highlights:

Cutting off the wax plugs before the frames go into the centrifuge:

Inside, some decorated sugar cookies:

Of course, we had to take a break to eat!!!

After laboring, feasting, chatting and laughing, we came home with 6 pints of fresh honey and 6 quarts of fresh apple cider. YUM! I can't wait for next year :)
