I’m so grateful that the weather has been hot to get things ripe…. and that it’s supposed to cool off next week so I don’t have to be hot in the kitchen too bad as we begin canning. Salsa and pears and plums! 😀
I am also grateful for:
Friends to come can with me
A mother and sister in law who introduced me to home-canned salsa
Children who play well together
My husband moving three cords of wood
That we could afford to buy pre-split wood
A great deal on tomatoes at the saturday market
A neighbor who is blessing me with loads of pears
Our own fruit trees which are beginning to produce (and our plum tree which is having a great year!)
A house that is under 80 degrees all morning (not the afternoon – haha)
Love this picture and love the note. YAY!!! Sounds like a wonderful summer day. Wish we could have made it to your house this year! I miss that. We’ve had some good visits!
What fun!! I loe that I have learned to can a couple years ago – although it has been challenging this year with small boys newly home. One only eats pureed foods…so I’m canning lots of applesause and pearsause. But, salsa is our family’s favorite thing, so I’m mostly canning that!! Happy Canning!! Jennifer
