Our Desert Homestead

More canning at the homestead

Today we finished the 60 lbs. of green beans.  We made 59 qts.  Then we combined our tomatoes from each of our gardens and put up 7 qts. of tomatoes.  We had a few left over tomatoes so I made home made pasta sauce and we all ate dinner together.  We had the fresh sauce with herbs from the garden.  Then used some sausage and made meatballs and used a jar of green beans that hadn't sealed.  Yummy good and fresh dinner.  Everyone ate it up.

Then we sat on the front porch and cooled down over iced tea.  What a blessing to see the fruits of our labor and know we are providing for our families.

Now the girls are in bed and I may go soak in the hot tub (gift from my parents when they moved)
