Having gone on a weekend trip to Cooperstown, New York, Sarah and I visited a few local spots, such as the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the local Farmer’s Museum. One of the other spots we visited was the Fly Creek Cider Mill. It was the annual Cider Festival on the Saturday we were there, and as much as this makes me look like Ned Flanders, I will admit to being completely mesmerized watching a couple of volunteers peel three apples at a time in a matter of seconds.

We did get to sample some of the cider at the snack bar. It was outstanding, and has inspired a number of autumn beverages.
