Canning season

We have been so busy with canning or "home preserving" over the last few weeks that my blog entries have suffered! So sorry. Pickle and Farmer J's birthdays and getting a new vehicle (our minivan/"wannabe farm truck" is on its last leg) have also been front and center! And then there are these things called "school", "work" and "parenting!"

Just today, we had friends pop over to pick pears off the pear trees as we may keel over if we have to can another apple, pear or tomato! And by "we", I mean, Farmer J does 99% of the picking, cutting and canning and I do 99% of the cleaning up...which I will say is not a fun task. Very sticky, messy business, canning!
