A friend and I put up 60 pds of green beans this week.  She had never canned green beans before, so it was fun to show her how and do it together.  I remember as a little girl my sister and I were the ones who always had to snap.  Now I get to be the boss and run the canners.  What fun we had showing our kids how to snap beans.  They all learned that they don't do it to get paid, but they get to eat.  What a concept!  Kids these days! 

It was nice after we finished, sitting on the front porch sipping tea, and looking at a job well done.  We will sure enjoy our provisions this winter. 

We also put our two tomatoe garden pickings together and canned 7 Qts. of tomatoes.  We had some left over and she made the best fresh spagetti sauce I ever had.  We used herbs from my garden and whole wheat noodles. Yum!

God blessed me with a very special friend to do this stuff with.  Thank you Friend

Have I told you lately that I LOVE YOU?  I do

Now I am inspired to get out my canner! We are surrounded by peaches at the moment. I think I better can some!

I remember all the canned fruits and veggies my Mom put up every year. What fun - and work!!
Am not in a position to do now, but may next year with my daughter. Will be great to do with her and my granddaughters.
And, thanks for the comments on my blog. Kathi comes to Tri-Cities occasionally - so perhaps sometime we could meet.
Later.
Love, Barb
