canning freenzy


Pumpkins for everyone!



This is the most incredible chopper! You know theres alot of them out there but this beats them all. Sarah brought it with her, she got it at a garage sale but you can get them new at William-Sonoma's.

It's Wed. and were still canning! Peaches, pickles, spaghetti sauce,salsa,peach chutney.....more peaches today and my manly man's gherkins are ready to can. Sarah's over staying at Rachel's this week and they both pitched in. I think they made applesauce last night?? So........everyone going to be exhausted for the family reunion this week-end.It should be a nice peaceful week-end at Zion's camp. I've actually not helped much, this is my exhausted week, catching up on rest! I got the kitchen cleaned up this morning and am going to hang a load of cloths out and that might be it for the day.

Started ww yesterday with a friend, so I've got all kinds of emotions rumbling around, but, I want to do this! If I could just do a few pounds before we go to England. Oh, yea.......Rachel and I are going to England for a week at the end of Oct. FUN, FUN, I'll tell you more about that later.

Have a great day! Love ya!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
