Example: Not that long ago Mo tried to snatch the camera because he wants to play with it (naturally) and I still got a somewhat happy look out of him.
Then on Sunday the same thing happened; only he wasn't really happy. So this pic says for sure "Mom this is getting old!"
Something Blue....
My sweet precious PRINCESS EJ! EJ is very into princess all of a sudden, and she has a couple of her princess outfits on all at once...beautiful Guatemalan Princess
I am still trying to figure out where this girly side is coming from all of a sudden because she did not learn that from me... 4 SHUR!
Something New....
Pickles! Someone kindly gave us cucumbers grown for making pickles so I thought why not try canning pickles. Well, we liked them so much I have canned more the last 2 nights, and tried my hand at peach jam. YUMMO!
We are deep into the freezing/canning season right now so my nights and weekends are determined by fruits and veggies; OH BOY! It's so worth it though in the winter; really worth it. So far we have frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, 2 bushel corn, and strawberry and peach jam. Right now I have a bushel and a half of peaches laying on my counter to be canned and frozen, then we move onto green beans, pears, apple sauce, tomato juice, and salsa! I think I may try apple butter this year too...
Anyway...here is a pic of my first 2 batches of pickles...aren't they pretty??? Yes, I love to look at the finished product and just beam at the prettiness of my own canned food...I think I must be getting old..... :)
You forgot the something borrowed :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to try canning! This weekend and next week I'll be jam making but I've never tried canning. You've inspired me!
