I don't particularly enjoying canning but I like the feeling of storing up for the winter like a squirrel with both cheeks full of nuts. Dave and I did O'Henry peaches last week -yum. Yesterday I supplemented my tomatoes with a box I bought at the fruit stand. (Most of mine are still green). My parents arrived in Boise just in time to help me fill up the jars. And, they brought over some apples from their trees, so with another box from the fruit stand we will have enough for a couple of batches of applesauce. The grapes should be ready any time (we drank our last bottle of grape juice two weeks ago) and THEN we can put away the canning equipment. I am still picking raspberries and making freezer jam or eating the fresh ones mixed with the fresh peaches. I like planting and love harvesting, but still haven't gotten the weeding thing down. Maybe next year.

Yeah! That sounds delicious auntie michelle! You should post a picture with FULL jars. :)
Miss you more than a fat kid on a diet misses chocolate cake!
You're pioneer stock, Michelle! Like money in the bank, food on the shelf helps one sleep peacefully and gives a sense of security.

PS We raise our own peaches and I can them each year.
