Preserve it!

Canning, canning and more canning! It is that time of year. We had a little garden this year that gave us some yummy tomatoes, peppers and herbs. Lots of zucchini and carrots and chard. We were blessed to receive some donations from some other gardens (you know who you are) and able to make Salsa, Tomato Sauce and Peaches.

It makes me so happy to see it on the shelf ready to eat!

Madison, Sydney and Thys are in school and loving it! I miss them but its nice to have a little more time to finish some projects that I have had going on over the summer holiday.


Keeping with our tradition, we walked to school on the first day with all the children. Found Madison's and Sydney's classes and met their teachers.

Good job with the canning. I have been looking at the peaches in the grocery store and remembering canning with mom and dad every year. I would love to do it, even have the jars but life is just too busy.
Thys is in school? Wow your kids are getting old. We will be starting the first week in September. I've been planning all their subjects and am so excited. They are becoming more and more independent as they grow older. I am always amazed at how children learn really without help it's just something they do every day. Love you guys tons--Take care Jilleen
