I just downloaded 181 pictures but I have so much to do today that I only have time for a quickie update. I started this at about 7:00 am and just finishing it at 7:00 pm.
Here is a garbage can full of beets to can today. (UPDATE AT 7:00 pm-DONE)
That's a bunch of beets. A guy I work with has pears, jelly and a bunch of other stuff he canned but he has no beets so some of these beets will be traded for pears and jelly!
I spent 30 minutes scrubbing these jars, they were a freebie from a friend but only because they were so dirty nobody wanted to buy them from her garage sale.
A bushel of apples to make into apple sauce, apple butter, pie filling tomorrow plus we need to make salsa and I don't even know how I will because of the beets I am tired.
One of the reasons is because I have to walk around her all day when I try to work in the kitchen. Either she lays right there or along one of the cupboards. I try to make her move but she just lays down in another spot. Always on the alert for a falling piece of whatever, today she was eating beet scraps.
The Thanksgiving turkeys getting big. See how the fence is leaning? Sometimes they take a notion and the walk over the fence, en masse, pushing it until it leans over and they can walk through.
Beans, still more on the bushes to do but I don't care right now but I'm sure I will do them or I will be mad next winter.
My new processor, I burnt up the old one grating crap loads of zucchini.
Picked peppers, still more to do but ya know?
Here is why I am tired. They look yummy though.
I took this picture a few weeks ago, it is a bushel gourd flower, one of the prettiest flowers I've ever seen, looks like fine lace doesn't it?
Til next time, Beth
