Yesterday was a grocery shopping day. You know I abhor grocery shopping. I didn't murder anyone spell I was there...always a lucky 24-hour interval for my swain shoppers...but I'll acknowledge in that place were a couplet of times I nearly stepped over the line. The in conclusion straw was the gentleman who was using i of those riding carts who stopped, blocking the ramp off the sidewalk into the parking lot. He was admiring the flowers, but geez. Couldja dorsum upward a couplet of feet in addition to allow others pass? There's canning to practice dorsum home, Mister! Oy boy. So, that happened. (No swain shoppers were harmed during this grocery shopping excursion.)
It was past times noon when I got home, afterward than I'd hoped, but I ate only about luncheon in addition to took a 15-minute interruption off my feet earlier starting on the apple tree pie filling. My recipe listed the amount of apples past times the seat out of cups cut, in addition to I genuinely didn't know how much that would create got past times weight. I weighed out vii lbs. of apples in addition to and thus went to operate coring in addition to peeling. I had the required 12 cups of apples when I'd exclusively gone through nearly 2/3 of what I had. That was a prissy surprise. The residual were returned to the bucket. Once they were cutting in addition to peeled, it was exclusively nearly only about other hr in addition to a one-half until I had vii pints of apple tree pie filling.
Yum. Mae likes to seat this inwards her oatmeal. I similar to seat it inwards pies. Mae's method is likely slightly healthier...or mayhap it only takes a good for you lot dish in addition to makes it unhealthy. But hey...an apple tree a 24-hour interval keeps the Dr. away, right? Nobody said anything nearly no-sugar, in addition to thus I'm calling this wellness food.
There was notwithstanding fourth dimension left inwards the day, in addition to it was tempting to practice something else. Too bad I didn't create got whatever build clean jars. Yeah...really...so, thus sad. Guess in that place was no to a greater extent than canning for me yesterday. Here's a moving painting of me feeling sad.
Sadie was sitting on the window sill looking intently at something outside. When I looked out, there, only beneath the window was this guy. He was all stretched out in addition to resting there. Tired after a 24-hour interval of earthworks holes inwards the yard in addition to stealing sunflower seeds from the birds, I imagine.
So...no canning for me today. Sue in addition to I are going to the fair. She's coming hither inwards a petty while, in addition to we'll create got the dorsum roads downwards to Salem. It's genuinely a pretty crusade that way. I'm excited to run into the quilts. So far, I haven't been brave plenty (or motivated enough) to larn inwards whatever canning. I locomote on thinking nearly it...maybe side past times side year. For now, I'm only looking. Sue likes to run into the pigs, in addition to that leads us to sheep in addition to rabbits in addition to chickens. We relish it all. It's going to last on the coolish side, a welcome recess from a hot summer. It's feeling real much similar autumn correct now, but I expression the oestrus volition furnish earlier its gone for good.
If I larn abode inwards time, I mightiness practice only about other canning batch of something. Today I genuinely create got build clean jars. Either way, I'll last dorsum at it tomorrow. On Saturday, a dump truck volition last delivering a charge of tomatoes, in addition to and thus I'll last upward to my eyeballs inwards pasta sauce.
