I've disappeared for so long that anyone interested has probably moved on to more consistent bloggers. Sorry 'bout that. Right around the last time I blogged, the garden & harvest (canning) began to progressively require more and more of my time. However, I'm pleased (ecstatic would be a better word) to announce that the harvest is in!! I put away the last of my canning tools this weekend. (I may have to bring it out again if husband gets a deer, but --cross that bridge when we come to it.) Our cold storage and freezer are full. I put up an unbelievable amount of jellies, jams & syrups -- 120 jars!! Guess what all our friends -- and neighbors -- and acquaintances -- and total strangers on the street are getting for Christmas?! I also put up 60 quarts of tomato sauce, 24 of pie apples, and a bunch of crabapplesauce and green beans (don't remember those numbers). We are so thankful! About mid-summer we were feeling doubtful of getting much of anything due to strange weather patterns, but here we sit abundantly overflowing, thanks to God (and some donations from friends).Today was a wonderful time of getting back in normal routines, starting back to full time school, getting caught up on some cleaning. Ahhh -- I can breathe again!
